cockroach wisdom

In my house there's a sofa underneath which a lot of cockroaches live. Sometimes while I'm sitting at my couch a cockroach comes out so i am scared because of that. So even when I'm doing something important i cant pay attention to it.I constantly keep looking at the ground because i fear that another cockroach may come but usually nothing happens and my worries only distract me from what i do

Most of us act in a similar way in our lives. We are usually paying too much attention to our fears (the cockroach that never came out) so this distracts us from our real goals and ends up limiting our potential. I've learned that even if the cockroach does get on my feet , the damage i do to myself by being distracted is far greater. So i learned not to worry over things that have yet to happen.
