Fear of the Future
F: False/Fantasized
E: Evidences
A: Appearing
R: Real.
Do you worry a lot about the future and what is going to happen or might happen? Are you focusing on your fears so much that you are paralysed and take no action in the present because of your fear of what might occur in the future?
ACTION: It is time to put your focus on the present because the present moment is the only thing we have control over in life. We can't control or predict the future or other people's behaviours no matter how much time we spend thinking about it. All of our control is in the present moment - right here, right now.
If you are still worried about the future, ask yourself this question, "WHAT IS THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?" Then say, "OKAY, IF IT DOES, I WILL DEAL WITH IT." More importantly, look back on your life and realise that the scenarios we create about the future rarely occur. Then take a moment to put things into perspective by writing down the things you cannot change, the things you want to change, and accept that God, if you believe in Him or the Universe or whatever you call it will take care of the rest.
There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith to make us unafraid. ~ Frederick W. Cropp
Every man, through fear, mugs his aspirations a dozen times a day. ~ Brendan Francis
I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change.... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back. ~ Erica Jong
"Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them."
-- Marilyn Ferguson
Getting rid of the fear of the future is no rocket science, become brave enough to listen to your fears then take strong actions to reassure yourself.
