I'm in the same boat as you for this one as well as willpower. I worry a lot and can't easily separate the things I should be worrying about from the things I shouldn't - the things I can control versus the things I can't.
I know you said above that you're not talking about free will here but FWIW it does help me not to worry in the latter case when I think of "The Clockwork Universe". If I was to have any tattoo, one depicting that would be the one, as it really helps me and I'd want it somewhere prominent where I could always see it. Everything that has happened, past tense, couldn't have happened any other way. And everything that will happen, also can't happen any other way but that one's much harder to get my head around because of the experience, if not reality, of free will.
