I am an axious/nervous person but not a worrier. I make methodical assessments, make a decision and that's it. It is what it is. As long as no one is dying, there's nothing to worry about. I think people think they have far more control over their destiny than they actually do. This is why they worry. I think that if you accept that all things that happen, happen for a reason, you can accept almost any outcome. <br />Worrying to me is pointless. If you can change something for the better, then do it. If you can't - why worry?<br /><br />Probably seems like an overly simplistic point of view but I'm an overly simplistic person.Cate Bolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298943020480417215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-89936375920463800212012-03-19T20:18:52.509+11:002012-03-19T20:18:52.509+11:00I'm not much of a worrier, either before or af...I'm not much of a worrier, either before or after the fact.

That said, I've probably down-scaled my worries to worry-wart size (as opposed to terminal tumour sized) and like you, now I tend to only worry about big things, like 'should we buy that block of land', or 'is it time for a bigger car?' etc. Once the decision is done and dusted though, I don't look back.<br />There are people who post-worry: they are so busy looking back, sometimes they can't see what's immediately in front of them.
