How do you deal with the unknown?

So in life, we can't plan for everything.
Sometimes things crop up and we just have to go with it, whatever they may be.
So how do you personally deal with those situations?
Do you just not think much about it until you have to?
Or are you a worrier and try to think of all the different outcomes and possible solutions?

I'm a bit of both.

There is so much that is unknown. The next moment is unknown. Trying not to anticipate is part of true freedom, which can help make the present moment more life giving.

"All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well"

Letting go of all our beliefs and simply having a pure faith in those words can be truly liberating and transformative.

Just one take on the Hsin Hsin Ming ("Faith in Mind")

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When like and dislike are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for, or against, anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. When the deep meaning of things is not understood, the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail.

Just to say, the last couple of days have been truly trying.

All the very best to you all.
