What optimistic news is there about worrying?
But here's something to consider. 85% of the things people worry about never happen. And in the 15% of the time when the things we worry about do happen, 80% of people say they handled the problem better than they thought they would. Experts say that the best thing to do if you're worried is to write down what it is you're worried about and then decide which things you can actually do something about and which ones you cannot. Then create a plan to do something about the things you can actually impact. Because it seems to be universally true that doing something usually lessens the worry. And that is something you should know. As you travel through life in search of success, there's a lot of conventional wisdom you hear. Things like persistence is the key to success.

Ozan is a former rocket scientist, lawyer, and professor. He's been a guest here before, and he is the author of a book called Awaken Your Genius, Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary. Hi, Ozan. Welcome back. Thanks for having me on, Mike. So I've always found it interesting that there's all these cliches about success that we're all supposed to follow. But often when you look at successful people, they take a different path. They find a different way of doing it. And that's what makes them successful. And yet all of these cliches about success persist and kind of makes you wonder why.
