Quote by Gene Brown

The bridges that you cross before you come to them are over rivers that aren't there.

The bridges that you cross before you come to them are over

Summary

This quote implies that many worries or anxieties we have about the future are often unfounded and unnecessary. It suggests that we tend to create imaginary problems or obstacles in our minds that might never actually materialize. Wasting time and energy on these non-existent concerns only hinders our progress and prevents us from focusing on the present moment. The quote encourages us to let go of unnecessary worries and approach each situation with a clear mind, knowing that most of the bridges we fear to cross won't even exist.
