i used to worry about a lot nowadays i just think about a lot the difference between the two is subtle but so are many of life's wisdoms

Worrying and thinking may involve the same problems, but they move through the mind differently. Worry begins with feeling intimidated by the size of life. Thinking leaves the mind busy too, yet turns that attention toward how to live.

That shift reaches beyond mood. Matching other people’s standards may obscure the real self; living by one’s own understanding makes it visible again. The expected life is lost, but a more personal one is recovered. Problems have not vanished, and life has not become simple or safe. Death may still come in a blink. The quieter change is that fear need not direct every thought.
