Worrying is imagining that which you don't want.
Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much.

He is worrying about whether you think well of him, not whether he thinks well of you. The way to be yourself ... is to forget yourself.

There, Master Niketas,’ Baudolino said, ‘when I was not prey to the temptations of this world, I devoted my nights to imagining other worlds. A bit with the help of wine, and a bit with that of the green honey. There is nothing better than imagining other worlds,’ he said, ‘to forget the painful one we live in. At least so I thought then.
