Don’t Awfulize

It’s a human tendency to fear the worst. It’s a way we “inoculate” ourselves against future disappointment. But most of the time, the worst doesn’t happen. And should something bad come to pass, I must realize that I will be able to call on unexpected reserves of strength and resourcefulness when the time comes.

I must not let fear of the awful keep me from enjoying the awfully good.
