I have bookmarked that exact same quote! I also like page 121:
"do you realize that your imagination of the future, which is almost always dictated by fear of some kind, rarely, if ever, pictures me there with you?"
"It is your desperate attempt to get some control over something you can't. It is impossible for you to take power over the future because it isn't even real, nor will it ever be real. You try and play God, imagining the evil that you fear becoming reality, and then you try and make plans and contingencies to avoid what you fear."
I know that I personally struggle with this. I hate my current "present", love my "past" before the MLC and struggle with my fear of the "future".
I need to learn to enjoy my "present" and not fear my "future" as much as I do.
