Ignore the Storm, and Enjoy the Sunshine
If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine. – Morris West
At one point, my life mantra was plan for the worst, but hope for the best. I hoped things would go my way, but I didn’t expect them to, and I always planned for the worst case scenario. Guess what? 9 times out of 10, the worst case scenario happened. Why? Because I was so busy planning for it, 
that I basically made it happen. Why wait for a storm that may never happen?
I’m not saying don’t have a plan for when things go wrong. That only makes sense. But if you spend so much time planning for things to go wrong, and expecting the worst case scenario, you miss all the good things that are happening right now. It’s wise to bank some extra cash in case there is an unforeseeable emergency, or perhaps have a credit card that is only used for emergency car repairs. That’s a plan. Spending every second of every day worrying about those car repairs is bad. The thing is, life is basically pretty great, and yes sometimes things can go south, but you can’t spend your life worrying about that. If you waste all your time worrying, you forget to live. So stop worrying about impending disaster that may never happen. Ignore the storm, and enjoy the sunshine.
