It's a common issue to see people make plans and have sleepless nights over problems they anticipate. It's OK to be worried about tomorrow, but to let the worry of tomorrow affect your today isn't a good idea.
Insecurity as used in this post is basically lacking self confidence; plagued by anxiety
The problem of insecurity cuts across various areas of our daily lives. From financial problems up to family issues down to career issues. We worry about whether we are gonna get good jobs, good spouses, beautiful children, a comfortable life style etc. When things don't seem to be going well we tend to get troubled and overly worried. Sometimes our worries push us to make hasty decisions and wrong choices. A calm attitude to certain problems sometimes is usually the best solution. Some situations usually don't require that you do anything. Just pray and watch. Other times, you may need to make a move. Now whatever move it is has to be calculated and prayed about. Advice usually as to be sought from appropriate persons.
Today in Nigeria, there's almost as high as 80% university graduates that worry about what happens as soon as you are done with NYSC. Some have so much confidence that if they shoot their CVs around the jobs would be waiting. Only to be met with not even one response from over 40 CVs that were dropped around.
How does one deal with this? Why is there so much uncertainty about what tomorrow holds? Are there ways in which these fears can be allayed? Has anyone successfully overcome these fears?
Truth be told, one may never get completely over these fears/worries, but rather one can reduce one's worry about them. I checked around and the only source of hope is God. Now, even God says " never to worry about tomorrow, but that we should let tomorrow worry for itself".
I know that sounds too easy but, well, it's just the truth.
I'm yet to see a situation where worry solved a problem. But rather pragmatic steps taken with care usually does. In the end, do not let your worst fears be your reality. Step out from underneath it and take charge of today. Today is all you have, enjoy it. Make the best of the friends and network that you have today. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Enjoy.
