Fatalistic thinking

"If I ... then ... and that is fatal for me." Or "if others ... then ... and that is catastrophic." Maybe not in these exact words, but the thought is common. Frequently unconscious and almost always biased.

And often wrong.

Life is more nuanced than what you and I believe. Course correction is organically built into life. Whether the correction or outcome is to my liking is a different topic.

The imagined fatalistic outcome is worse in the mind than in the actual course of unfolding events. I ought not get misled by fatalistic thinking.

God is in control.
