Dear worrier,
We are about to enter into a new year and that means that we have a chance to revisit the possibilities of new goals, new achievements, new changes, and other new things that the new year comes with. As the year comes to a close, we begin to worry about what lies ahead for us. For many of us, we fear the unknown. We want to be able to control our future. We want to be able to dictate when things are going to happen. We want to be able to make sure that things go our way and that anything that tries to divert us from that path will stay far, far away. Unfortunately, we can not have this control over life. We are subject to the craziness and unorganized blob that life is. When things remain unknown or don't seem to go the way that we plan, we often get frustrated with ourselves despite the fact that we can not control what is going to happen. I've been in the same place before. I'm someone who wants desperately to be able to control my life. I've found myself angry and upset with myself over things that I haven't been able to control. I've been hard on myself for really no reason at all. I've decided to have a different view on life going into 2019.
What I know now is that 2019 is going to be full of ups and downs and while I'm going to want to control them to the best of my ability, there are going to be things that I can't control. What I've learned from the past is the fact that everything turns out okay in the end. The things that you encounter in life may tear you down, but you are strong enough to keep building despite the demolition. You can make it past your darkest days. You have survived your worst days, you are strong enough to prevail further. The sun will rise again and you will be okay. Have faith in yourself. Know that you are stronger than you think. You have the capability to keep moving forward. Whatever happens to you in the future, whether it is good or bad, it will all work out for you. God has a plan for you and he knows what he is doing. If we put our trust in him, we should have no worries for tomorrow.
So for those worrying about the future, don't worry. It's all going to be okay.
