Worry Debt

Mark Twain said “Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe”.

We start paying the moment we start worrying.

Compounded worry is what happens when we worry about worry.

The best advice is still the decades old solution from Dale Carnegie whose book about worry remains in the top 100 bestselling books:

Whenever you’re worrying about something, you need to do three things:

  1. Get the facts.
  2. Analyze the facts.
  3. Arrive at a decision – and act on that decision.
