“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” ― Mark Twain

Mark Twain, the celebrated American author and humorist, reminds jus that our worries and fears are often unfounded and that we tend to create unnecessary problems in our minds. This quote serves as a reminder to let go of worry and to focus on the present moment.

Application: Practice letting go of unnecessary worries by focusing on the present moment and the reality of your current situation. Recognize that many of your fears are self-created and may never come to pass.

Reflection: Picture yourself, my fellow worrier, as Tom Sawyer, one of Mark Twain’s beloved characters, painting a fence that seems to stretch on forever. Each brushstroke represents a worry that you add to your already long list of imagined troubles. But just like Tom, you can change your perspective and turn that endless fence into an opportunity for adventure and growth. Let this metaphor inspire you to embrace Mark Twain’s wisdom, releasing unfounded worries and focusing on the present moment.
