In my morning reading, I stumbled upon a fascinating statistic: only 8% of our worries are worthwhile.
This revelation, credited to Earl Nightengale, reminds me of our mind’s uncanny ability to create mountains out of molehills.
Every moment spent in the grip of unwarranted fear is stolen from our potential for joy and creativity.
We must acknowledge the tiny fraction of concerns that truly merit our attention in order to rein in fear.
Doing so helps us unlock a serene and purposeful existence.
