Overcoming Fear of the Unknown

-


Have you ever found yourself losing sleep over what might go wrong? I sure have. There were times when I spent so much energy worrying about potential problems, only to realize that what actually went wrong was never the stuff I was stressing or worried about.


It's a common human tendency to let our minds run wild with worst-case scenarios. We dwell on the ''what ifs'' and ''maybes,'' fearing the unknown. However, life has a funny way of proving our worries wrong.


I've come to realize that dwelling on uncertainties is like paying interest on a loan you haven't even taken yet. It steals precious moments from our present, moments that could be filled with joy, laughter, and positive experiences. So, why waste time and energy on things that may never happen?


Instead of drowning in a sea of worries, I've learned to focus on the present moment. Surely, planning for the future is essential, but letting anxiety dictate our every move isn't. There's a sense of liberation in acknowledging that not everything can be controlled, and that's perfectly okay.



Conclusively, it's time to break free from the shackles of unnecessary worries. Life is too short to be consumed by fear of the unknown. Embrace the present, tackle problems as they come, and savor the joy that each moment brings. After all, the things that go wrong are often the unexpected twists that makes our journey uniquely ours.

Make Your Tears a Smile

Happiness comes at times to us, but sadness comes unbidden; Remember that amidst the smile, a few tears must drop If at times you feel you want to cry because life is such a trial, Remember that above the clouds, there is a bright blue sky Don’t give up If a friend have sadness written on their face Because trouble round them pile up; Remember that the world would be a better place to them if you smile and assure them that all will be well As you travel on life’s compulsory journey Filled with ups and down Remember that before a gold becomes the gold you so much admire, it went through fire So don’t give up because there is a light at the end of the tunnel When you keep aiming for something and all seems not to work according to your plans Remember that good things of life doesn’t come easily, make your effort worthwhile Make your tear a smile Smile is very cheap amongst the world’s expensive gift And you don’t know whose world you are lighting up with your s...

AIM LIKE THE SPIDER

I was sitting on the 13th floor alone Brooding about life, When a spider caught my attention. It climbed to the 13th floor and kept climbing even with the storm out there. It climbed back up every time it fell. Why does the spider climb so high? Striving to get to the top? Why is it is going that high? It probably thinks it can get a better catch up there; Or maybe it believes it can just keep going and going till it get there. Well, that’s what I chose to believe. The spider did not stop till it got to the final floor. Only a small thinker believes there is a particular height to be attained or a particular height is hard to be attained.  Never stop climbing till you get to the top. When you get to that top you have been aiming for, Aim for something greater than that top and never stop climbing Be like the spider and don’t hesitate to devour whatever challenges that may come your way Don’t give up Maiden Wura

Navigating Uncertainty Without a Timeframe

  The experience of waiting is an essential part of life, whether it's awaiting a response to a job application, anticipating medical test results, or hoping for a decision on a significant life event. The waiting period can feel endless, testing one's patience and resilience. This is what it's like when there's no timeframe for the waiting period. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of uncertainty. The main challenge of waiting without a timeframe stems from the uncertainty it creates. As humans, we naturally crave certainty and predictability, so when there's no clear deadline, it goes against our instincts. Waiting without a timeframe can have detrimental effects on mental and emotional well-being. The prolonged uncertainty and lack of closure can take a toll on one's mental health, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, hopelessness, frustration and even depression . It becomes increasingly challenging to maintain a positive outlook and...
