Our fears are more numerous than our dangers,
and we suffer more in our imagination
then in reality.
Seneca
I think this is true for most people. I know my imagination can run amok at times. It is smart to give thought to what we are doing and where we are going but we do have to be careful not to let the negative “maybe’s” take over. I am guilty of that but I am better than I used to be in controlling those crazy maybe’s. There are a lot of scary “what if’s” and “could happen’s” in life but there are also lots of wonders and delightful surprises.
Bad things can happen but more often good things happen.

But negatives are so very easy!!!
They may be easy but what a waste of life.
Negative thinking jumps in and takes over before I realize it. I’m trying to train myself to redirect those thoughts.
Negativity is sneaky…that I know for a fact! But it can be overcome. Just takes some retraining of how we think.If I did it so can you.😺
Thanks for the encouraging words.

I’m so fearful, by nature. Love the Seneca quote…it’s so futile to worry over things that may never happen. And you’re right, so often good things are on the rise. Love the way you write…have I told you that lately? Susannah
You have courage, my friend. It comes through when you write about your everyday adventures on the streets of your city with the people you encounter. You encourage me to be more open and engaged with the strangers I meet. Thank you.😻
You reminded me of…faith is courage that said its prayers. Thanks for writing. 🙏
Very true, I was thinking about that today, but you’ve written it clearly – good thoughts and advice thanks!
Thank you for visiting and commenting!
I agree, if we get to stuck in the fear mentality we miss all the good things happening to us and around us!
Sad when we allow the negative to put shadows on the wonderful. I am pretty good at keeping positive but there are times…
So true, Patricia, and glad to see you back. 🙂
Thanks, Eugenia. Was good to have a break.
