Bit of wisdom that's an oldie but a goodie: Try not to be preoccupied with the outcomes of things that are outside of your control. Make the best choices you can in the present moment and then be ok with the chips falling where they may. Future you may live through hard times, suffer, and die - it will be terrible. But that doesn't mean present you should live a life of preoccupation and anxiety. Good people are not (at least in my book) grim ascetic saints. Good people help those around them materially, and they also spread happiness, connection, and pleasure - things that you can only grant to others if you yourself are happy. So, be a happy warrior. If it all ends in disaster and you know you've done your best, you will exit in peace.
