What's the difference between "anxiety" and "panic?" "Anxiety" is when, for the first time, you can't do it the second time. "Panic" is when, for the second time, you can't do it the first time.

Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
T. S. Eliot

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
Henry Ward Beecher

Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? 'I'll take care of it in a moment.' Of course you don't! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.
Max Lucado
