6. Don’t Suffer Imagined Troubles.

6. Don’t Suffer Imagined Troubles.

“We suffer more in imagination than in reality” - Seneca.

All the things that we are anxious or worried about are never going to happen in reality so there is no point suffering for things that exist only in our imagination. You can only have any control over the present moment where you can prepare yourself to address any challenges that you might have. Don’t give up the present moment by being worried about what’s going to happen in the future.
