Makes perfect sense Orvel. I guess that a lot of us get overwhelmed by "what ifs" and then shut down and isolate as a defense mechanism. For me, the key is staying focused on the present instead of letting my brain extrapolate a billion different future scenarios. That kind of mind-set just paralyzes me.
