Ever read a mystery book and the anxiety starts getting to you… and the next thing you know you skip to the end of the story?
Okay. No more anxiety – you know who done it.
But really, doesn’t it ruin the story?
Unfortunately, many of us deal with life this same way. When the anxiety starts getting to us – especially when we’re dealing with life’s challenges, we often write the end of the story – way before its time!
For most people who do this, the endings they write are almost always disastrous! If they are diagnosed with an illness, they are already writing their obituary, if they have a tough test to take, they’ve already failed, financial challenges have them living under that proverbial bridge…
Why?
Well, like skipping to the end of the book, the mystery is over! No more hope – no more anxiety. Just dread…
Hmm…
When you think about it, is this really a good trade-off?
What do ya think?
Ever done this one?
