FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗

We often get scared when we think about what the future holds for us. We ask ourselves questions about what the end result will be and deep down in our minds we provide a positive response. We ask the "How", "When", and "What" questions. "What will happen if I take this move?", "What will people say about me?", "What if Iose?", "How am I going to survive?", "How will I cope?" "When will I reap the fruit of my labor?" and so on. These questions often find there way into our mind and create fear about the future in us.
The fact that nobody on earth can tell what can happen in the future is one of the reason we are always scared of it. There is a high possibility that if the future is known we'd feel more relaxed and confident in our strength and abilities. But sadly the future is a mystery and no one can tell what will happen even in the next few seconds. We often have the belief that when we spend time thinking about what the future holds we may be getting insight into what to expect but this is not always correct.
The cause of the fear of the thought of the future is mostly based on what we feed our minds with. Even though the future is unknown you can still think about the future as something that holds greatness, excitement and beautiful things. We should not always feed our minds with the negative and fearful thoughts. You should always have faith that the future will favor you instead of allowing the fear of things going wrong get the better of you.

Note that when you constantly feed your mind with negative thoughts about the future you are not making it any better rather you are creating a mindset that may never see the good in anything. Why are we fond of assuming that something may go wrong even when there are no indications? Well, it may be due to the experiences we have had in the past. These experiences may make us doubt that anything good may come from the future. Holding on to bad past experiences may make it extremely hard for us to the good that the future offers.
There are some people who do not want to enter into a new relationship because of their experiences in their previous ones and when they finally make up their mind the fear that the present will also be like the past ones creeps into their mind from time to time. As a result of this they fail to enjoy their present because of the fear of the future. We can't take away the reality that we will always face challenges as far as we breathe, hence we must learn to be positive about life at all times. Sadly, when you are constantly bothered about what will happen next then you will fail to enjoy the present moment.
Do you know that the phase of your life that you consider your past and the one that you consider the present were once your future? But you were able to survive the past despite the challenges that you encountered and you are also passing through the present with a strong belief that you will come out strong. Imagine that you keep living in fear all through your life, then when are you going to actually enjoy life. You can't always live in fear of the future. Don't sell your happiness of the present moment to the fear of the future. When the time is right you will get the way out to every challenge that you face.

The future will not always be filled with bliss, there will be setbacks and challenges. This is certain about the present moment as well, so take it one step at a time and don't bother about how to solve the challenges of the present (known) and the future (unknown). Direct all your strength into making your present a beautiful one.
Thank you for your time lovelies.
