It is not the thought of death that causes stress, it is the thought of not achieving the things important to me on this plane of existence by the time the reaper comes.

So I should not worry if I hit a pedestrian in my car? Just drive off knowing life is a beautiful experience? Worrying can serve a higher purpose. Granted that many things that people focus on are not worth worrying about.
When we find ourselves worrying for a legitimate reason (like concerning ourselves with the welfare of the pedestrian we just hit in our car) if we believe the above quote it could lead to us not reacting in a natural way to the situation. This could cause unnecessary stress and worrying, that do not serve any purpose other than highlighting the fact that we are negatively affecting our own reality through a (perhaps) faulty line of conscious reasoning.
