The fear of the unknown is one of the greatest human fear that hits me big whenever i think about it. Imagine sleeping at night and wondering if you’d ever wake up to see the breaking of a new dawn, such fear can be very scary and terrifying. In as much as i hate to admit to this, the number of times I’ve thought deeply about the fear of unknown is countless, and the funniest thing is that talking about it right now just slightly divert my mind to the same fear I’m talking about, it’s kinda crazy right?, fair enough. Well, we won’t be humans with flesh and blood if thoughts like this don’t run through our heads and minds sometimes. That is to say; it’s quite normal, so don’t pay too much attention into it when you start thinking about the fear of unknown…
If there’s one thing i know and understand about the fear of unknown, it is the fact that it can’t be stopped neither can it be overlooked, all we can do is to just live our lives the very best way possible, while doing the things we love and spending time with those around us. The best way to get over the fear of unknown is by not thinking about it. It’s sounds very impossible right, yes i know, but then you just need to be engaged enough to not let it affect your mental state of mind, just live your life without thinking about what tomorrow has to offer. When tomorrow comes, you’ll know what to do and what not to do…
I think this is where many people out there mostly get it wrong, every action has a consequence of its own. I am not saying you should neglect tomorrow, all i am saying is that live a very good present so that your future won’t be affected. The little blocks you put in the ground now will be the foundation of the building you will have tomorrow. If your foundation which happens to be “today” is not well laid, then your building which happens to be your “tomorrow” won’t be rigid and steady…
The fear of not knowing what will become of you or your situation tomorrow is a big fear, and not many people can handle that fear, and for this reason many people live their life with that fear. Thanks to the fear of the unknown, they are always careful with life and everything that makes up life. A life like that is not totally bad, one thing you need to know is that; ”what will be will be”, take it or leave it. Don’t because of the fear of unknown deprive yourself of happiness and love. Living well now is actually a great strategy to overcoming the fear of the unknown…
AFFRONTING THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN…
This is very deep, it is very easy to insult or offend the fear of the unknown. Ignoring the fact that what will be will be is like pouring sand into a clean water, when you refuse to live a fulfilling life because of the fear of unknown, you are automatically getting engulfed by the fear…
Living the rest of your life in fear because of the fear of unknown is an insult to the fear itself. Everyone is fearful of something, you don’t have to stop living a great life because you don’t know what will happen tomorrow, in as much as you aren’t living a bad life, there’s nothing to worry about, just focus on that which gives you peace and happiness…
In summary, you can’t run away from your fears, you can only culture it and utilize it to your advantage, what will be will be. The fear is there to make you live in fear, you have the power to overthrow it and live well…
In conclusion, what will be will be, don’t stop living because of the fear of unknown. The power to overcome the fear of unknown lies in our hands, and living a good and healthy lifestyle is the best way to overcome it…
