We can either have faith and hope or fear and worry. All of these are an investment in the unknown. Fear and worry are negative investments versus faith and hope which are positive investments.

Fear and Worry are cousins. We must wait for the good outcome.

Fear and Worry -- Who needs them. Patience, Faith, and Positive Thinking carry the day. :) gw

Right! That's why I got married, by the way --- So my wife can do all the worrying. (Which she does. LOL). ~ gw

Sage advice your father gave you. Funny how we understand it better as we age. (Not that anyone's aging on this website. lol). A mentor once told me: "Slow down, so you can speed up later." He was spot on. Thanks, Joe. Take care, Gershon
