What’s the Worst That Can Happen?

Today, face a challenge head-on, not by avoiding it, but by imagining it clearly and courageously.

Choose one significant situation that feels daunting or uncertain. Close your eyes and visualize all the ways it could go wrong.

Let yourself explore each possibility, not to spiral into fear, but to prepare your mind for reality.

Ask yourself, "What is the worst that can happen?"

Then ask again: "And if this happens, how will I meet it?"

Most often, when we look that question in the eye, the power of fear begins to fade. The truth is, life rarely unfolds in extremes; its outcomes are seldom as catastrophic or as perfect as we imagine. They usually settle somewhere in the middle, where we can still act, adapt, and grow.

When we imagine the worst, we disarm it. We begin to see potential solutions, even partial ones, and awaken our resourcefulness.

Write down the strengths, resources, and choices available to you.

We cannot control what life brings, but we can control how we meet it.

When you face the storm in your imagination, you discover that you were the calm all along.
