There may be speculations and assumptions that sound or feel extremely realistic but they may or may not come to pass. When I fall into the trap of trying to predict a hazy future I tell myself that I will cross that bridge when I get to it. And even though I do not see myself as a Christian I agree with Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” One day at a ...There is no telling what the future brings.

And even though I do not see myself as a Christian I agree with Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” One day at a time is enough on my plate. I do not need the strength for the future, only for today. And that in itself is very reassuring.

That gives me confidence to face future challenges. In the present, I do what is within my control today to bring about positive results in the future for myself and those around me. 6 Reply EJP3 months agoEJPMy faith gives me strength always. 3 Reply Pilgrim3 months agoPilgrimApprehensive is not a rock I climb onto and stay, viewing the world from that perspective. If and when I may get some of those feelings I am likely to refocus on the good, the now, the possible and particularly the joy I find in the gifts of my life. 9 Reply devy3 months agodevyMéditation, taking deep breathes, focusing on my breathing and being mindful in the present. 7 Reply sunnypatti3 months agosunnypattiPausing and breathing. Really focusing on my breath. Also, my faith and trust of the path that I’m on. 4 Reply Kevin3 months agoKevinI am of the mindset that the future always contains uncertainties and challenges, and sometimes extremely so for some of us, no matter how well I and others may plan. Hopefully, there’s enough joy and “good stuff” blended into the whole of whatever the future deliverers that smooths out life along the way. Personally, I do not feel apprehensive about the future. It will come, and under its own terms, and my being apprehensive about it doesn’t serve me or anyone else an ounce of good.

The birds are chirping away outside. The nearly full moon is falling behind the trees. I think I’ll go outside and say, “Good morning!” Read More12 Reply Michele3 months agoMicheleFaith and Love. 5 Reply Hermann-Josef3 months agoHermann-JosefThe knowledge I was taught or given, that the being that I am truly, can not be cut by weapon, can not be burnt by fire and can‘t be dried up by wind (Bhagavad Gita). Then my daily practice of meditation. Devotion , dedication, service along with prayer. Making music at least inside. Thinking of my daughter. Accepting what is at the moment. There are so many tools which really help me. I am deeply thankful for that. 15 Reply Kevin3 months agoKevinBeautifully said, Hermann-Josef.
