For example, if you actually got fired, what could you do? Seriously, what could you do? You could look for another job. You could tighten your budget for a while. You could ask friends and family if they can connect you anywhere. It wouldn’t be a cakewalk by any means. It would be really hard. But it wouldn’t be hopeless. You’d make it through. And that’s the point: even if your worries seem overwhelming, you can cope with pretty much anything life throws at you, from curveballs to screwballs to a few dates with oddballs.
