Does the future make you panic?

Worrying is non-acceptance of what could happen in the future.

The interesting thing is that you can not possibly know what will happen and because of that worrying is irrational. At the same time, even if you can predict what will happen there are two options you can choose from: 1. you can do something about it right now or 2. you can not. In either way it's nothing that should intimidate you.

This is why we have to realize that worrying doesn't serve any purpose and is illogical and thus has to be overcome.

It's quite obvious that a lot of you worry because you don't know what's waiting for you in the future. This is a symptom of not having clear cut goals and plans on how to get there.

The right attitude will bring you far, however having crystal clear goals and a specific plan on how to get there will almost guarantee that you'll achieve your dreams.

This way there won't be any doubts about the future because all you have to do is to follow your plan, keeping your attention in the present moment and knowing what's your destination.

"But Placebo," you say "I do not know what to do in my life!"

Do not worry.

Because we all know what's that which excites us it's just that to some of us it's completely apparent and others need to dig a bit deeper to discover their true purpose.

You have to devote time to it and decide to find out what do you want to do with your life. Or at least what are your goals for the next 10 years. Think about what sends shivers down your spine, think about what makes you completely forget about problems and think about that which excites you!

You can even ask yourself: "How can I bring more value to this world?" or "How can I help people/environment?" or "What can I change?".

Really take time because it's your core that you are inspecting. You are learning about yourself.
