Worry and fear are negative emotions that serve no useful purpose.
Worse, they are not benign influences on your behavior. Both tend to
expand if left unchecked until they crowd out positive emotions and
beliefs, taking over your mind and filling it with counterproductive
emotions that cause you to doubt your ability to succeed at anything you
attempt. Unless you control worry and fear, one day you will discover
that they control you.
While the emotions can’t always be corrected with logic or reason, they
are always susceptible to action. Act, and even if your actions aren’t
entirely appropriate for the situation, the very act of doing
something-anything- constructive will have a positive effect on your mind and attitude.

THE WORST THING ABOUT WORRY IS THAT IT ATTRACTS A WHOLE FLOCK OF RELATIVES.
Worries, like sheep, seem to flock together. One worry leads to
another, and soon you are overwhelmed with the potential for problems.
When you allow yourself to play the "what if?" game-to speculate about
additional problems that one potential problem might cause-worries
multiply, each making the next seem worse.
If you must play the "what if?" game, play it to win. Focus on
solutions, not on the problems themselves and the additional problems
they might create. However serious your worries may seem when they
awaken you at midnight, if you analyze them carefully, you will find
that every problem has a solution.
