Why worry about things you can? Fair enough.
What if you are uncertain whether you can or can't control it though? That's why I worry.
I may be trying and struggling to control something I can't but I wrongly think I can and waste time and effort and make things worse instead of better.
Or I may miss an opportunity because I think I can't control something, or something is not worth controlling, when I either can control it or it is not only controllable definitely worth controlling.
See, that's why I worry. Not because of lack of control, not because of control... but because of uncertainty of control and uncertainty of worthwhileness of control.
That's why I worry.
Remember this. The only thing you can control are your choices. Everything else is out of your control.
With that said, if you take every situation imaginable and worried about it, you would never have a more desirable outcome compared to if you didn't worry about it.
No situation is improved by the act of worrying. None. Worry is anxiety and anxiety is irrational.
