We cannot always eliminate problems, but we can learn to eliminate our anxiety over them.
You add to the technical difficulties of your problems by telling yourself how awful your situation is. When you accept a situation, even though it is not what you would have liked, the severity of the problem will be decreased.
Learn to clarify what is the worst that could happen and accept it. This will free you from worry. ~ Alter of Kelm
Beautiful! Do you have a source for where I could see this inside or where this was written?
I will see if I can track it down and get back to you. Thanks!
Thanks!!
I am pretty certain this is quoted in Chochmah Umussar, but i am having problems locating it right now. If I come across it again, I’ll try to get back to you with a more precise source.
