“What can you trust of what you can’t see?”
The future is something that I am constantly worried about and trying to plan. I constantly have people in my ear asking me what I want to do with my life after college, as I feel most college students do. I try to plan my classes, internships, jobs, possible career options, savings for after college, and the list goes on. At the same time, there are those very few people that tell me I don’t have to have it figured all out right now. But how are they so sure? How can I be prepared for what is coming if I don’t have it all figured out right now? I fear the unknown when it comes to my life and what is ahead.
When you think about how much time, energy, and sleep is lost worrying about these things, you realize on what you’re missing out on. I am missing out on enjoying what is going on right now in life. I’m missing out on all the experiences that college students and young adults are supposed to enjoy, all because Im worried about the future and trying to plan for it. But how can you not worry? How can you trust that the future is going to be good for you? How can you trust what you can’t see?
There is no way to tell the future, or to know for sure what is going to happen or where you will end up. You can do everything you can to prepare and get on the right track, but that still does not guarantee the future you planned tirelessly for. So enjoy what Is happening right now. Don’t throw planning to the side, but don’t prioritize it. Trust that the future is coming and things happen, but you’ll be fine.
