The Courage to Worry

"Will we survive the night, or will we be brutally killed"?  “Where is my wife? Where did she go? She was supposed to come by the flight that landed three hours before. Did she miss the flight? Did she miss the connecting flight? Is she stranded in an unknown country? Did something terrible happen to her?” So many worrying questions with no answers.  “This is my hard-earned money. I do not want to lose it, and I am not going to lose my sleep on it either.”  "Hurry up. We have to go right now. We have to cross the bridge before 1 o'clock. Otherwise, we will drown and die". These are not scenes from a thriller movie nor an abstract from a fictional story. These are some of the incidents that had significant impacts on my life. Did I worry? If yes, did the worrying help me? What alternatives I had? I am sharing my experiences and the learnings from them so you can have a different perspective on life.
