LIVE IN THE PRESENT, LET GO OF THE PAST, AND DONT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTUREsteemCreated with Sketch.

We have evolved exponentially and our journey took us way forward from the stone age. Yet there is a malign psychological defect that haunts all of us. We dread the future and everyday a bulk of our thinking is spent on apprehending what will happen...

What about life that makes us feel worried? The unknown lying ahead creeps into our thoughts invading our peace, encompassing us with negativity leaving us shattered inside. Is it human nature that lures us to find out what lies ahead in our unknown journey of our life? Or is it just a sense of insecurity that consumes us and leaves us paralysed in our vicious thoughts.

Human mind is designed to fear. Fear is simply anguish of the soul, doubt of future, uncertainty of the hours that causes apprehension in our mind. We forecast our future with negativity creating a sense of insecurity. It is like a disease that leaves our soul only with utter distress.
Then why is that we worry and spend our time thinking, pondering, analysing what we don’t know? It was innate nature that longs to understand and decipher any mist of uncertainty. We try to portray our future the best we want to. This hunger slowly eats us from the inside until the time we realise this fascination will lead only to pain. Fear of pain consumes us leaving us paralysed to do anything.

We continually try to take every step-in life assuming we are directing our lives in a specific direction. It’s just an experiment with different chemicals which may result in a perfect product but sometimes ends up in a chain reaction over which we have absolutely no control. It is that time we try to force our way to resume control but the panic and the fear of future drowns us.
Life is not a bed of roses. The uncertainty in future will always be present. We can never control what will happen but we can certainly do what is need to be done now. The foundation of our future is laid only by the small decisions we take in the present. Choice is our own. Do we want to focus on something that never exists or the present where it all matters?
Salvation comes in the journey and not the destination of our journey. If our destination is fixed, will the course of our journey matters?

Dwelling in the past or being anxious about the future gives us no meaning of life. Rather we must draw inspiration from the past and get motivated towards our present which will pave the way for a future which you will engrave. Living in the moment gives us value and reason for what we are doing. We will savour and enjoy every minute.

The three Kryptonite of fear are- Strength, Peace, and Hope .If you have one of this, you will never be apprehended again by fear of future.
