Future Uncertainty
Stoking current anxiety.
It is unwise — and unnecessary — to overthink things.
No promises. No guarantees.
Anything can happen tomorrow, and something will.
But I don’t and won’t know what it is with any real certainty.
I might guess what will happen ahead of time and be right, but might be wrong as well.
Odds favor I will be wrong, or at least only partially right. Holes-in-ones and Grand-Slams are rare events
Someone who knows something I might not know can tell me what they know is a sure thing, but then, they might be wrong.
I can go with their advice, but if their advice turns out to be wrong, then I might be disappointed, but shouldn’t really be surprised.
It is reasonable to plan ahead, but I just can’t go there to live right now without becoming disoriented - mistaking speculations for really.
Life will not necessarily be better tomorrow than it is right now, even though what I do might affect the future in positive healthy ways. Then again, the future still might not turn out as I would want. It is always wise to prepare for that as well.
And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on.
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
