I will wish I had worried less.

I really think we get caused more pain by our worry than the things we worry about could ever inflict.

This is something I think we can all agree on.

The way I see it, bad shit happens and will keep happening. Suffering and other negative emotions are by choice, and only hinder personal growth.

I've been working on this myself. I have two standing rules: First, don't get hurt. That can apply to anything from not pushing myself when my body says I hurt to not hiking further when snow starts picking up. But the second rule is to stop thinking about it and just go. What I've found is I overthink things. I've worked out as many of the problems as I can, but I still sit here and worry. When I get to that point, I work hard to push myself past the worry and just go.
