Whatever Will be, Will be?


Many people would like to know their future and live their life worrying about the unknown future. The truth is no matter what life brings we shoul not worry too much and enjoy every day as much as possible. If you worry and nothing is wrong, you have wasted precious time over nothing. If you worry and something is wrong, you have still wasted precious time.

Every time we use the present to stress about the future, we are choosing to sacrifice joy today to mourn joy we might not have tomorrow. It may seem like we are creating solutions or somehow protecting ourselves from pain, but the truth is we are just causing ourselves more of it.

Perhaps the key is to challenge that instinctive sense of fear we feel when we start thinking about uncertainty. The unknown may have provided some heartache, but it’s also provided adventure and excitement. Uncertainty is the cost of that deeply satisfying, exhilarating, spontaneous sense of awe.

If you are truly immersed in the present moment, there would not be any reason to fixate on what might be coming. But I suspect that it is inevitable we will do that from time to time. We are only human, after all. We cannot always control what it will look like, but we can know that more often than not, it will lead to something good if weare open to it. When it does not, we will get through it—and faster if we have not already overwhelmed ourselves with what-ifs and worst-case scenarios.

On the other side of worry, there is trust. We cannot always trust in specifics, but we can trust in ourselves.
