Quote
Interest on Trouble Before It Comes Due
Traditional
“Worry is fear’s extravagance. It extracts interest on trouble before it comes due.” The line is still accurate. Anxiety drains the energy needed for today’s actual responsibilities by spending it on tomorrow’s imagined ones. Many of the troubles we finance with worry never arrive—and the payment is not refunded.
How you’d preach it
Worry extracts payment in advance for problems that may never arrive.
