“Forty percent of the things you worry about will never occur anyway.”
“Thirty percent of the things you worry about are things that have already happened — in the past. And all the worry in the world ain’t gonna change what’s already happened, right?”
“. . . twelve percent of all worries have to do with needless imaginings about my health. My leg hurts. Do I have cancer? My head hurts. Do I have a tumor? My daddy died of a heart attack when he was sixty, and I’m fifty-nine.”
“Ten percent would be petty-little-nothing worries about what other people think. . . . And we can’t do nothin’ about what other people think.”
“Eight percent for legitimate concerns. . . . But . . . it should be noted that these legitimate concerns are things that actually be dealt with. most people spend so much time fearing the things that are never going to happen or can’t be controlled that they have no energy to deal with the few things they can actually handle.”
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
