There are three parts of life – past, present and the future. We live in the present but many of us are troubled with our past and the suspense of future takes the sheen out of the present.
Years ago I dreamed of a comfortable life and promised myself to be happy ever after. Few years ago, I achieved a part of that dream – a comfortable life. However, the other part of being happy ever after was still missing. The future still made me worry. How will it be? What surprises will it bring? What preparation I need to handle them? I wanted to plan a perfect future, free from all worries and problems. The thing is, while I had the means to be happy, I still chose to be worried about the future.
I realized it is more of a mindset rather than material things which give happiness. I made up my mind that I will live freely rather than worrying all the time. I then fundamentally changed the philosophy of my life from ‘worry today and live tomorrow’ to ‘live today and worry tomorrow’. As they say – ‘tomorrow never comes’, the same happened to my worries.
