Expect the worst, hope for the best

Imagine a person working in a company whose management does not appreciate him. He has to work overtime. He is sure that if he does not do this, he will be fired. "If I don't work overtime, I will be fired. I have a young wife, I will not be able to support her and pay the housing bills, and we will lose the roof over our heads." Let's assume that this is exactly how it will be. But so what? Can’t a person ever find another job? Of course he can! Even if it takes time, even if it isn’t his dream job. The solution: ▫️Before you seal yourself in the "prison" of worries about some life situation, determine the most terrible scenario. ▫️Realize that there are no hopeless situations. ▫️Come up with an action plan to improve the current state of affairs, and move on.
