I worry too little TJ! That's why I get so much wrong. Big stuff.
But I like:
Que sera sera.
Fatalism
Stoicism.
Row row row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
He slept beneath the moon, he basked beneath the sun, he lived a life of going to do and died with nothing done.

we have something between a few days to 36,500 days moving on this planet>>
I have eaten silver and gold-wrapped sweets 30 years ago. Made by Indian friends, in Antwerp. But did not think of lead contamination then. I have done many many many things that are harmful to me and carry risk. Bare foot shirtless scaffolding 9 stories high before there were any safety rules. I was young, fit, strong, quick, and the guy with the scaffolding ticket told me what part to build. Simple enough really. Some people would think that risky. I play dodgems on my bicycle now with traffic in London and Auckland and Tauranga [rule of the road is that people in vehicles have to try to hit me and I have to not let them]. Good fun. My motorbikes decades ago were almost free of crashes though I did slide off once on a corner - sliding across the road watching the kerb approach, but I stopped before getting there. Jumping from rock to rock between breakers when a boy - my parents thought an unsupervised independent upbringing was a good idea. Me too.
Risk is fun.
Contrary to popular wrong thinking, we don't learn from our mistakes, we learn from our successes. The basic rule of life = what gets rewarded gets done. Whether you think you can or can't, you are probably right.
Our mistakes are punishments, not rewards. Failures and mistakes just teach avoidance. Success is the reward.
