Growing older is partly discovering which worries never deserved their original size.

Look back at what kept you awake ten years ago and most of it has evaporated entirely. Not solved, just revealed as not mattering. The pattern is consistent enough to be useful, and it says something about the reliability of your current sense of scale.

When something is consuming you, ask whether it will be on the list in five years. Some things genuinely will and knowing which is valuable. For the rest, the future verdict is already available if you are willing to apply it now.
