Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
live in the moment, trust me your gonna be just fine
Another soul answered...
Even just thinking about means you’re doing something, if you acknowledge it you’ll be okay!
Another soul answered...
keep forward，do your best and you will not be regreted about today's decision when you look back your memory
Another soul answered...
everybody thinks that bro
Another soul answered...
You don't need for everything to happen perfectly. Plus life changes as it goes on.
Another soul answered...
A piece of advice: live in the present, you’ll be 100x happier.
Another soul answered...
我太懂这种不安的感觉了。时间本来就瞬息万变，上一秒的我们永远没法预知下一秒会发生什么，所以根本不用急着把未来几十年的路一下子全铺完。我们真正要做的，就是慢慢攒够底气，以后不管遇到什么突发状况，都能稳稳接住。
Another soul answered...
Don't focus on the future so greatly, focus on living your best life now, and forever, and things will work out. Everyone has different paths in life, and all paths are beautiful and will bring you fulfillment, if that is what you want to do
Another soul answered...
The first steps are the hardest. But also the time for your future will come and if you don't feel it yet, maybe this isn't the time to start.
Another soul answered...
What future do you want? Set some goals and work hard for what you want every day, little by little. And read books.
Another soul answered...
Convert that worry into motion! And the worry that's wrapped around that one too. Take small steps first.
Another soul answered...
Incremental steps.
Another soul answered...
You're doing your best, and your future self would agree. Think back upon what you'd say to your past self from 5 years ago; and then imagine what your future self would say to you 5 years from now.
Another soul answered...
You are surely correct. Find time to focus on your plans, use the Einstein Distraction Index and don't let your mind rot. Ask Lakine's question. Don't use devices all day. Monk mode is not actually rewarding, most people would rather interact with others. Write down 100 goals and pick one for the day.
Another soul answered...
There was once a young man. One, he tasted a neighbor's apple and relished its sweetness. Thus he learned of apples and apple trees and was fascinated. Two, he was not needed in the field after the planting of the wheat and before the harvest. Thus, he had excess time and energy and resolved to plant apple trees. Three, he found he didn't mind digging holes and even enjoyed watering saplngs. Thus he was not discouraged from his task. In this way, he became an old man who presided over a healthy and respectable orchard of apples.
Another soul answered...
“And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?" Matthew 6 28:30
Another soul answered...
Worrying means you care, and caring means your mind is already working on tomorrow.
Another soul answered...
Just worry about the present. There is not certainty in the future.
Another soul answered...
You're gay
Another soul answered...
You might be thinking of quite specific things that you'd like to do more of, and these typically happen to me what you're already quite focused on. In the future it may turn out that what you currently think is most important and deserves most of your time is over-prioritized, and that some other activity which you are currently unaware of is the better thing to pursue. If you feel burdened by your current activities, and still think you're not doing enough, I'd suspect that you're in such a scenario and should try to find newer and more fruitful pursuits.
Another soul answered...
You're not alone in thinking this. In fact, gazing out at the stars, imagine all the others, who are having these same thoughts. Millions, perhaps tens of millions, all worried about their individual futures. You can only do your best and focus on oneself, and those around you. Take comfort in the stars. They outlast humanity.
Another soul answered...
This is more a statement than a question. The future is always uncertain. No one knows the perfect thing to do. Focus on smaller time horizons and make sure that you have a good plan for tomorrow, the next week or month. If you don't have good plans for those, why are you worried about a longer time scale?
Another soul answered...
Your future suffers more from the worry you do than the actions you don’t.
Another soul answered...
What does enough mean? Expectation is an attachment to the future, and a source of sorrow.
Another soul answered...
You are already doing something for your future by worrying about it
Another soul answered...
To be happy you need to fully experience the current moment. Living in the future will generate anxiety. Living in the past will generate depression. You cannot predict the future. Don't try to live someone else's life. Live your own life,the future will take care of itself
Another soul answered...
at cell level you are doing 1 Trillion things a second, but as mind thinks your not doing anything bcs, you are not doing a thing that mind wants you to, This world is non-dual, everything is one, so just do 1 thing, god damn only 1 thing at a time and see the difference
Another soul answered...
Good
Another soul answered...
Your future is uncertain. Accept that first. Then work on understanding yourself and what moves you. Make daily commitments. Make daily changes to your routine.
Another soul answered...
List down what are doing for your future right now. List down what you want to do with your future if you had all the time and energy in the world. Rearrange the 2 lists based. Then work on the list. Do the same exercise every few weeks until you are content.
Another soul answered...
I worry the same. Acknowledging is taking one step in the right direction.
Another soul answered...
I walk a similar path. I have no answer to calm that worry. Only to take one day at a time and not out undue pressure on your shoulders.
Another soul answered...
Well begun is half done.
Another soul answered...
i think you should be doing a bit more for yourself right now so that you won't worry about doing enough for your future
Another soul answered...
Don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow Why put it off another day? One by one, little problems Build up, and stand in our way, oh One step ahead, one step behind it Now you gotta run to get even Make future plans or dream about yesterday? Hey Come on, turn, turn this thing around
Another soul answered...
Me too. And that's okay. Do what you can today.
Another soul answered...
When one is treading water, it is not reasonable to expect them to accomplish laps. Live in the moment; the future will come.
Another soul answered...
There is no point in worrying, it will just distract you from what your goal is, just focus on doing, and growing, while cultivating kindness and curiosity. Future will come soon enough, and with it, maybe new perspectives.
Another soul answered...
Spend a little on your present self, give a little to your future self. Do a little of each on a regular basis and your future self will appreciate both the memories and the gifts.
Another soul answered...
then do more
Another soul answered...
Kind of trite, but if you have things you want to be building towards but you aren't, first identify what is stopping you from building towards them and try to stop that - with medication, meditation, changing routines etc. If it's beyond your control, and you really cannot change your situation, I feel for you.
Another soul answered...
There will never be enough until you are happy right now.
Another soul answered...
You are not in control of the future. Do your best today, and trust that it will bring you the fruit of your labour when the time comes. Be prepared for success just as much as be prepared for crisis - and you will do just fine. Take a break when needed; your phone is useless at 1% battery, so do you.
Another soul answered...
It would worry me more, that I'd be doing to much to gain something that isn't worth it.
Another soul answered...
Imagine your future self, will they thank you for what you are doing now?
Another soul answered...
Your care for the future is by itself an act of doing for your future. Don’t let care become paralysis. Think of a small thing past you did that you’re thankful for. Then think of a small thing future you might be thankful for. No ideals, keep it real.
Another soul answered...
doesn't everyone? all you can do the is the best you can. the rest is beyond your control.
Another soul answered...
This can be a productive worry. Try to make some - even small - actions towards a better future, so that you can also feel better in the now. If this worry is not particularly justified, well, then, _take it easy!_ :)
Another soul answered...
What about doing enough for your present? Like, being kind to yourself? The future will be there tomorrow.
Another soul answered...
We can always do more but be wary to not miss what you have now.
Another soul answered...
Perhaps, perhaps not, but there is no future. These are the after times and the before times.
Another soul answered...
That was technically in the past
Another soul answered...
Do the best you can. The absolute best you can for today. Tomorrow will follow.
Another soul answered...
Make a list. In all doubts of what must be done, make a list. Don't let fear of the unknown overwhelm you, make a list. Bring it into the light and you may find that the list made your fears seem small. From there, you will know what to do.
Another soul answered...
Then you should do more.
Another soul answered...
You are absolutely right.
Another soul answered...
That worry shows that you care a lot more than many others whom are not considering their future at all
Another soul answered...
People differ, some work day and night, some are more relaxed and spend time partying. Most end up fine, on average the really hard workers will earn more but also more unhappy and burned out. Choose what is important to you.
Another soul answered...
There will never be “enough” that you’re doing, that clarity only comes to us through hindsight. Seek balance. It can’t be all grind and also it can’t be all play. For some people having 5 year plans gives them structure (though that’s not my thing). A plan is just that, a plan, it’s not a contract. Things change, but as they say “the wind never favours the ship without direction”
