Worrying about Difficult Things

Think about all of the difficult times, ordeals, and tasks, life-altering and trivial alike, that have riddled your unique history. How did you feel during the period of time building up to the trials? While actively working through it? After it was over?

How do you feel when a new issue arises? Is the concern about failing to overcome the problem, or dealing with it poorly, or suffering through the process, or the effort required, or something else? Even though you've conquered millions of difficult things before, getting you to where you are now, why does each new thing still trigger a similar response?

Perhaps the worry encourages the best series of actions that have the greatest result. But maybe we need to be more confident that we will continue to be resolute and resourceful, and overcome, as always. Whatever happens, something will happen, you will make it so, and thus it will be satisfactory.
