How bad can it be?

[Luke12321]

I was listening to a show on my Sirius radio on the way home last night and it was about fear and success. The part I listened was a music artist who had seen his mom killed IIRC. His point was, before he decides to go after something….he always thinks about what is the worse thing that can happen? He said after he figures that out, he focuses on the positive outcomes and tries to block out the “most terrible case scenarioâ€. So I started thinking about the big picture of life and how we worry about such little things and the “worse case†thoughts keep you from going after your dreams! Does anyone battle with the “worse case†thoughts and how have you managed them?
