"Who of you by worrying could add a single hour to your life?" God tells us not to worry. He says just don't do it. "Tomorrow's worries are enough for today."
The Buddhist tradition reminds us to focus on the present moment, because we have no control of the past and no idea of what's about to happen.
Even everyday sayings - "life is what happens when you're busy making plans" - tell us to stop worrying, and stop planning excessively, and just be here now.
It's hard to live in the present moment, and not in our own heads, always dwelling on what's next, but I think it's a worthy goal.
