The Future- do you look at it with a little anxiety..??

I used to be worried and anxious about the future.But now I've realised however much you worry things that are going to take place will do so irrespective of your doing so.I was worried about children's health and future but for some time now I've realised to take life as it comes.I believe in working and doing well in the present moment with the hope that future will take care of itself.

I look at my future with excitement. I always look forward in what is in store for me in the future. I know that I am still growing in my professional and personal life that is why I am looking forward on my future. Maybe I am just a bit optimistic but it is what keeps me going.

I think there are some big questions that enter my mind from time to time regarding my possible future. I try not to worry too much about what may or may not happen. I'm trying to keep my mind free of such concerns for as long as I can as I'm worried that I may walk down the road of depression once again! Everyone is talking about our planet now and how we are destroying our resources and the future doesn't look very bright from this viewpoint. I try to take each day as it comes concerning my own life, I definitely think this is a good way of doing things. Whenever a problem arises then I deal with it immediately at the time. I think the goal is mainly to be happy and free and not have to worry about anything. Andrew

Why waste precious time about something you can not change? I like you Am over 60 and to me I live my future every day because today is what we have...tomorrow we never know...I love my family with all my heart and I know they will find the way to be secure and safe in this world...we gave them the know how the rest is up to them...and our planet?...well... who knows? nature will follow it's own path...and no human can stop that!...so my friend do not worry, enjoy your family, your friends and cherish today!

Hi Udayrao, that is so sweet of you. :) In my case, I think of my problems, and project the situation to a future date. And then I start looking at solutions to those problems. Therefore, I think ok - today my monthly expenses are about 15 K. I might live for another 25 years. My requirement may become six times that. So what are my sources, and how do I go about it. It then ceases to be personal. Rather it becomes more of a mathematical problem requiring some juggling. :) Of course, I dont look at it as if I am not going to make it. I always hold the attitude, worst come worst served there is this option, which is not bad by itself. :)

I'm more worried about what will happen to our home planet. That's why I'm planning to take environmental engineering as my masters.

The bible teaches us not to worry it will not change a thing. I look to God, he holds tomorrow for me in his hands. The bible also teaches he will take care of us as he does the birds in the flied, If you know Jesus you have no need to worry. All things work to the good of those that love God and are called according to his purpose.

We are trying to teach our kids about caring for the planet. Our family recycles. When everyone changes just one thing it helps. Yes it is hard not to worry. BUt actually doing "something" helps.

udayrao2 I am not looking with anxiety as I have already been through hell and survived so now all I am hoping is that my son will get a good job and accumulate some money so I can move out of this retirement center back into an apartment with my adult son.I am only here as I had no place else to go when we were evicted after my son had lost his job and could not find another. we ran out of money got behind in the rent. were homeless . now I am here at Gold Crest while my son is several miles away in a gov.sponsored apt with three other men all out of work and trying hard to get jobs.right now Im just focused on the present as that is all I can live on anyway, the past is gone, and tomorrow is yet to come.

At this moment, I'm worried about my daughter mostly, whether she would grow up with a father at all. My situation is that uncertain. I also wonder whether I would be able to survive without his financial backing if it happens that my husband and I are not together anymore. As such, I'm trying to put in place some strategies to finance myself and my daughter through online earnings. And it has to be passive income. I have to grow my passive income. I guess, we are at different stages of our lives and we worry about different things.

I do, but I didn't used to. It's just that I've had one problem after another, and I really hope that I get through my current financial problem before facing another problem. I can handle it if another problem would come to me, but of course I'd rather not have more problems right now.

Hi udayrao! I'm only in my mid-20's and even when I was younger I've always been worried of the future. We were very poor back then and it has always worried me if we still have food to eat the next day or if we still have stipend for school or if I'd be able to go to college, etc. And even until now that I already have a source of income, the future still worries me a lot. What if I'd lost my source of income? What if there's an emergency and all of my savings will be used up? I really have a lot of things to worry about the future. However, I also keep in mind that worrying about the future is not good for a person's health and mind. I mean, there are already a lot of things to worry about in the present, and it's really very exhausting to add the future into the equation. So, although it makes me anxious every now and then, I also just keep reminding myself to focus on the present instead of the future and trust that everything will be okay and everything will just fall into place :)

I try and remain positive regarding the future. Try and think that there is something wonderful just around the corner. That it will be great and there will be no problems. However, if it was only that simple. The fact is that there is plenty to be anxious about in this world. Every day, there could be new experiences that are great but at the same time, there could be new experiences that are problematic. You do have to take the bad with the good and hope that the good will balance the bad. Still, I really hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I may be pleasantly surprised. Then again, I might be in for a rude awakening. There is just so much uncertainty for the future. Therefore, I think that it is only inevitable that I was a little anxious. Who knows what the future will bring. Hopefully it is something good but then again, it can never be certain. All I have to do is wait and see. Only time will tell.

My dear rao I am 64, my wife 58, all kids happily married and settled, i am retired, i get a decent pension too, all this is gods blessings and due to our good karma Old age diseases are now surfacing, they will, we have to go back to the creater, no need to be worried, lets be happy and help others to be happy.. Thank you so much for this nice discussion, cheers God bless you. Prof

The curiosity is the most thing i felt. I just wonder how or what will be the future is. And if there is something i can do to avoid some mistakes that would happen.

I don't think we would be human if we didin't own up to iur fears. We all have ab amount of anxiety when considering the future. The future is uncertain. We are not always at ease with that fact.

I have a lot of problems myself to be worrying about the problems of our planet. although i mind if someone is polluting like throwing the trash everywhere. I also mind where i throw my trash.
