The Irrelevant Worry

If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Many people have asked me if I'm worried about getting a job. My answer is, why be worried about anything? Worrying is irrelevant.
You may think that last statement is idiotic. Maybe I do have a different point of view, since I'm the parent of two childen who both have cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening illness. However, here's my line of thinking that could work for you too.
If you have control over a situation, like what golf club to use on a par 3, or what colour of shirt to buy, there should be no need to worry. Because you have control, you should feel calm.
If you don't have control over a situation, like my children having CF, there is also no need to worry. I can only do the things I have control over, such as ensure they get their medication and physiotherapy, and fundraise. I'm not an expert in biology, so my control stops there.
As a result, I don't worry about things I control or don't control. Since everything is in one of those categories, I don't worry. Worrying is irrelevant.
I'm sure everything in your life is either in your control or out of your control. So don't worry about anything.

Regards,
Irrelevant
