Andy Andrews on Worry

"40% of things you worry about will never occur"

"30% of the things you worry about are things that have already happened - in the past.  And all the worry in the world ain't gonna change what's already happened."

"12% of all worries have to do with needless imaginings about our health.  My leg hurts.  Do I have cancer?  My head hurts.  Do I have a tumor?" 

"10%  would be petty-little-nothing worries about what other people think.  And we can't do nothin' about what other people think."

"That leaves 8% for legitmate concerns.  These legitimate concerns are things that can actually be dealt with.  Most people spend so much time fearing the things that are never going to happen or can't be controlled that they have no energy to deal with the few things they can actually handle."
