You sit on the train staring at your phone while your mind spins. The project will fail. Layoffs are coming. You picked the wrong career. The future feels like a thick fog and it is already draining you before work even starts. (1/3)

But here is the uncomfortable truth Seneca pointed out. Worrying isn't being responsible. It is arrogance. You are pretending you can predict the future. Most of the disasters you fight in your head will never happen. You exhaust yourself battling ghosts just to feel prepared.

Fear of the unknown hurts more than the unknown ever could. (2/3)

Drop the illusion of control. Get off the train one stop early. Walk the rest of the way. Feel your feet hit the pavement. Watch the sky. Every real step you take is a step your anxiety cannot touch. You are here. You are walking. That is the only proof you need.
