How many times have you worried about your future or felt afraid of it?
At some point in our lives, we get scared. we get scared of what the future is holding for us. we fear the future. we fear the hidden, we fear what we dont acknowledge/know . we dont know what is it hiding for us, even if you have planned your future.
I think we fear the future because not only is it unknown but we don't have control of it… at least not fully.
We can definitely plan for the future through things like insurance and savings accounts, but we don't really know if that will actually be helpful.
There will also be this moment in your life in which you stop and ask yourself :
Is everything going to be the same? am i going to lose someone i love? would i change? am i going to have a career?would i get into college? would i get a job? would i achieve my goals?would i survive ? will i be okay? what if i get a disease and die?what if i become depressed?
We are always scared of the unknown considering that we fear the future will mirror our past, because we are born to believe that history repeats itself. But human beings are not history, they reinvent themselves instead of repeating themselves.
To cope with this fear , try and view it from another window, try and view it as a challenge rather than a threat , as a surprise , or as an incomplete story! It might help a little.
If you are scared of tomorrow, think of the things you can control today, the things you have now, think of just today and how you can get through it. Think of how you can make today slightly better.
And as Tennessee Williams said :
" The future is called 'perhaps, ' which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you."
Also as Karl A. Menninger said :
"Fears are educated into us , and can , if we wish ,be educated out "

You're not alone in this, we all fear the future. I do and most people do.
