Stop worrying so much. Stop being scared of the unknown. Anything I worried about didn't happen. Other stuff happened, but not what I worried about.

The Story Behind This Quote

Sandra Bullock surprised the graduating class of Warren Easton Charter School in New Orleans — a school she had adopted and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to after Hurricane Katrina. Rather than deliver a traditional speech, Bullock framed her advice as what she wished someone had told her younger self, and what she now tells her four-year-old son every day. She admitted she couldn't remember her own graduation because she was so consumed with anxiety about the future that she wasn't present in the moment — and realized she had no memories of all that time spent worrying.
