Why is it Important to Not Worry Yourself Excessively About the Future?
Hello, dear Steemians!
One of the most devastating weapons of thought that can slow us down or make our lives a living hell is anxiety and worry.
A manifestation of such anxiety is the thought of future and what it will bring.
Many people succumb to the darkness of an ambiguous future that has no answers for them, only more and more questions.
When they realize that they cannot answer these questions, they get nervous and anxious about almost everything that is going to happen to them.
Fearing the future and what it is going to bring is a legitimate cause of suffering. But the main reason behind this is the general ignorance of people about how future comes to pass.
We do not know what the future is going to bring.
Nobody is even in a position to predict the consequence of events that are going to befall you in the future. But that doesn’t mean you should be afraid of it!
Most people who are anxious about future events are those who think that bad things are going to happen, but the reverse is equally true; good things are also likely to happen.
These are two sides that are always struggling in your mind… you are the one who decides which one is worthy of recognition!
But fearing the future is not just about its outcomes. Some people are afraid of the concept of the future, because they think of all the things that they are going to have to do.
They think about all the things, good or bad, that are going to happen to them.
This might be overwhelming to a lot of people, but I heard a quote the other day that has effectively occupied most of my thought about my role in this world and what the future is going to bring.
Abraham Lincoln once said, “The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.”
I think that is a very brilliant concept. We should not get worked up around the concept of the future and everything that is yet ahead of us. What we should instead focus on is tomorrow.
The future is going to come at you one day at a time. So, if you want to succeed in life and have something to say for yourself, you need to focus on what you have to do for tomorrow.
Two months from now, five years from now, a decade from now, and any other relevant time in your life is not important now. What is important is tomorrow.
Think about what you are going to have to do for tomorrow to make the future.
That is the only thing you need to focus on.
Remember; the entirety of your struggles and what will ultimately determine your fate can be summed up with what you do with your tomorrow!

Thanks All of You!!!!
In regards to worry, here’s an absolute must-read book... It can be life-changing.
‘How to Stop Worrying and Start Living’ by Dale Carnegie. The audiobook version is excellent.
As far as anxiety goes, that’s a completely different story. One can suffer from both worry and anxiety for completely unrelated reasons, or, suffer from one and not the other. Worry is easy to kick with the proper tools, it’s mental. Anxiety is usually more physical, and while changes in mentality can help greatly (as can meditation and exercise), it’s a hell of a burden.
As always inspiring, thank you for shared <3
Hello,
worrying changes nothing, it's just wasted time, it only brings dark thoughts, the food for our demons.
Always stay positive even when bad things are crossing your life. Bad things are our challenges in life as well as the good things are.
Walk with a brave and honest heart through your life in good and in bad times.
Have a wonderful week
Tom

Hi @chbartist, we only have control of the here and now. This is where we do our best work letting our energy flow easily and happily without fear. The future comes soon enough. Thank you for your thoughts, good ones for contemplation.

@chbartist all the human beings come up in this world with a fix destiny. At the start of life, I mean on your first day of birth, every thing relating to you had been setteled for over life. So if you are comorehensively worried about your upcoming days this mean that you are living between certainity and uncertanity that causes a lot of flaws in your life. So be happy with your precious life and fully enjoy your time with any tension about your future. 🔮

Thank you very much @chbartist for your inspiring articles. It's a great joy to read them. I myself try to establish a steemit blog which deals with the topics "mindset, psychology and philosophy". Would be great if you can add me to the list. If you like, have a look at my latest post. I also dealt with the questions, what to hope for and what to fear in future:

Worrying about future always makes us miss the beautiful present.
Live life in present than putting all your time worrying about tomorrow, tomorrow is never going to come. It's today, just today

How much time in my life I wasted, more precisely, being in a bad mood, worrying about the future. This was for me a strong motivation to unlearn the experience in advance. I am sure that each of us can draw very useful lessons from our own experience.
