The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists

About This Quote

The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists. In this quote, it’s not the situation that is worse, but your thoughts about it. This is a great quote to remind you of the power of your thoughts. Your thoughts can be powerful and if left to run unchecked they can cause you to do things that you may regret later.

The best way to control your thoughts is to keep them positive and non-judgmental. If you think negatively about what’s happening, then you will likely find yourself feeling negative about it as well.
