One day the problems consuming you now will not even know where to find you.

Whatever is consuming your attention now will, in most cases, be completely irrelevant in a few years, to the point where you will struggle to reconstruct why it mattered so much. This is not a dismissal of the difficulty, which is real and heavy right now. It is simply a note about proportion that is impossible to feel in the moment. Some things do stay important, and most do not.

When something is occupying your whole mind, ask whether it will matter in five years. If not, let the answer take a little weight off without pretending you do not care. If it will, that tells you where to put your effort.
