“Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.”
— Charles Spurgeon

Simplified Meaning:
When we worry a lot about what might happen, it doesn't stop bad things from happening in the future. Instead, it makes us tired and stressed right now. Think about a student who is nervous about an exam next week. The student is so worried that they can't focus on studying or enjoy their free time. Their anxiety doesn't change what will be on the exam, but it does make them feel exhausted and less prepared. By wasting energy on fear, they have less strength to deal with today's tasks. Instead of worrying too much about the future, it's better to use our energy to handle what we can today.
