When You Feel Unsure About Your Future

I just want to say life = uncertainty. It sure makes it a lot easier if we genuinely accept that life is full of uncertainties or even that life is uncertainty itself. Maybe because life is this way, we all long for stability.


So I just want to say, try to enjoy this uncertainty and a life full of surprises instead of trying to rush towards stability. When you truly enioy the process and practice healthy habits for the better, stability will meet you at a certain point. But by that point, you have become a person who doesn't find comfort in stability, but rather you find peace in knowing that you are capable of living through uncertainties and instability (or this should be your goal). So if you are currently distressed about your uncertain future, first tell yourself that you are capable of making it through and picture yourself in a successful position 5 or 10 years from now.


Another thing I want to tell you is that you aren't in this alone. It may seem like your friends have got everything together and you are the only bum that is dealing with this uncertainty. If such is your thinking, you couldn't be any more wrong. In fact, some of your friends and colleagues may be in unimaginable circumstances full of uncertainties such as their parents' divorce or parents passing away, various health problems, financial crises, lawsuits, court cases, bankruptcies and business failures, etc. Even if you were certain that your best friend's life is abundant and perfect, you never know when uncertainties will revisit them. So, be assured in knowing that we're all in this together.


Finally, as sort of mentioned earlier, your focus should be on strengthening your inner and outer self (ie physical health) rather than trying to combat every uncertainty. Not only is it impossible, but you're not attending to your deeper emotional needs because you're obssessed over your uncertain external circumstance or situation. Before you worry about what career you should pursue, ask yourself where your interests and passions lie. Before you think about how you're going to make money, ask yourself what makes you truly happy. Because life is uncertainty itself, it is wiser to use this as a chance for us to grow into the person we want to become. Once you become stronger first, no uncertainties will be feared as you have faith in yourself.


Finally, God did and will again. Put your trust in Him.
