Worried?


"Don't tell me that worry doesn't do any good; I know better.  The things I worry about don't happen."


Unknown

When worry leads to thoughtful, purposeful action, I believe it can do good.

But worry for worry sake?

No

Planning For The Inevitable Future

"The willing, Destiny guides them; the unwilling, Destiny drags them."

Senaca
1st century AD Roman philosopher

It's called destiny for a reason, but that doesn't mean there is nothing you can do to shape the future.

Understood, to some degree, "inevitable" events can be manipulated; however you have know what they likely will be as well as plan what you will do as a result.

Do you?

Let The Good Times Roll (But Plan For The Bad)

"We only think when we are confronted with a problem."

John Dewey
Early 20th century American philosopher


I think he's right and if so, that's a big problem.
(When) business is good, we don't plan for trouble, believing the good times will continue.
