Re: Scared of the future?
I think we all have these thoughts from time to time.
I myself have experienced something very similar as of late and the current job market and the appalling stories one hears about marriage do put your mind into overdrive.
However, when I sat down and thought about it rationally, my concerns and fears are rooted in the uncertainty of what the future holds. We can attempt to aspire towards our goals and hope to achieve them but still we do not know fully what will happen.
Some things have not panned out the way I wanted to but I have compromised and feel more content now alhamdulilah then I would have had I pursued what I had initially wanted.
I think what you need to do and what I am trying to do myself is to focus on the here and now. The other things career and marriage fall into place and at the right time. We can spend endless nights worrying about it but what will that achieve?
Concentrate on what you want from life. If you are at a stage where you are about to step onto the career ladder, harness your energy towards making that step.
Spend time with friends and family and enjoy what you have. Time will fly by and do you really want to look back at a later date and think why did I waste so much time. Your reasons and fears are valid, it is just that they should not take over your life. These are uncertain factors of life, which until we go through them we will not funny comprehend what will happen.
