Many people around the world face the problem of fearing uncertainty. It’s a very normal human behaviour worldwide. It is because we all like things to be certain. We like our situation to have some amount of predictability. We always want to be sure that our future is going to be safe and secure. And if we are unsure about that it makes us really tense. In fact, this is a big reason why we get stressed. Many people feel stressed thinking about what will happen in the future and they are less concerned about their present situation. But ponder over it for a moment. Do you think taking stress for this reason is right?
It’s totally not okay to take stress thinking about the future. Everybody likes to have certainty and surety about a secure future. But the truth is that certainty about the future cannot exist. Future is always uncertain. You can only make judgments about it being certain or uncertain, but you will never know what it’s going to be like. Consider a rich man with a love partner who may be really happy and certain about his future. Such a man would have no worries. But suddenly one day his love partner leaves him for another man and all his predictions about a certain future will fail. Similarly consider a poor man with a love partner, who remains sceptical about his love partner leaving him because of his poverty. He will always be stressed thinking about his future. But in future it may turn out to be that his partner never left him and he wasted all his teenage life taking stress and being tensed.
That is why everybody should let go of fear of uncertainty because the future is always uncertain. Live in the present and learn to adjust to whatever happens in the present.
