Every once in a while I have this surge of worries on my mind – as my most people do. Mine tend to revolve around my future, and how terrified I am of it. The big questions spinning around my mind usually go like this:

What if I can’t find a job?

Will I be happy?

How am I going to afford a house?

But my sister spoke these words to me when I voiced out my worries to her.

“Just take it one step at a time”

And she’s right, worrying is not going to help me in any way, in fact it is detrimental to my day to day activities. The future always seems so far away, I feel like I have no control over it, but I do. I have control over the present, I can choose how I want to spend my day – whether it is spent completing my homework, or worrying. Furthermore, I always look at the future as something 5 – 10 years away from me, and whilst that is of course true, I often forget that the future is also tomorrow. And when I choose to think of the future in this perspective, I am much more motivated to work & be productive, as the things I accomplish today shape my future, not spending my day worrying!
