Most of your personal “demons” don’t even exist.
Humans suffer more in illusion than in reality.

Two of my favorites:
“There are more things … likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.”
- Seneca
“I’ve suffered a great many catastrophes in my life. Most of them never happened.”
- Mark Twain

Even if something you fear never occurs you end up suffering as if it did because you dreaded it’s possibility. And if the dreaded event occurs you end up suffering twice.
So true
Fear is a powerful imaginary deterrent.
