A recent Christmas present I gave was a calendar that gives the person a question every day. They range from conversation starters, to ethical questions, to just wacky questions.
There are a bunch about the future and how you think about the future. I initially felt very anxious about the future and worried about where I would be. But since the beginning of the year I have been trying to change my mentality So instead of being so worried and anxious about the future, I am trying to look forward to the future possibilities. There will be difficulties and challenges, but they will be worth it. All the difficulties I encountered until now have brought me to where I am (which has also been a struggle), but look at who I am now. I am trying to be more positive, more patient, and change my mentality.
While it hasn’t been an easy path here (although much easier than others), it has been a journey that has taken me here. Worrying about the future doesn’t eliminate the challenges, it just creates more stress and anxiety. The more productive thing to do is to try to approach them with an open heart and mind. Knowing that whatever comes, you have the potential to get over it and to work through it.
I think my attitude towards the future has a huge impact on my life. And every day I try to change it and be a better version of myself.
