“When you get anxious about the future, it is better not to think about it.

The more you think about it the more anxious you’ll get.

Of course its important to think about what lies ahead, too, but if you only look at what’s down the road, you’ll get tangled by the “laundry” by your feet and fall, wont you?

You see, its also important to think about what you can do now.

What you can do today, and if you keep washing things one at a time, you’ll be done before you know it.

Sometimes the anxiety will start to well up, but when it does… take a little break. Read a book, watch tv, or eat soumen with everyone.”

– Soma Shigure’s line from the anime Fruits Basket
