One of my greatest fears is of the unknown, the future, of not being strong enough to tackle the problems that I will encounter.
I have dealt with problems of this sort in the past. Those life transitions such as right after high school, college, getting that first job. Any instance where I really had to stretch myself to find something new or start a new life plan. I just don't want to make a mistake and be trapped. Although this thought has never occurred it is always present in those first days. What kills me more than anything is just the anticipation of waiting for that future reality to become a reality. Overall, it is always much better than the time I spent thinking about and worrying about it.
In a year from now I will already be in my new life and this time period won't have meant a thing.
I meet tons of people just like this throughout the year. Some successfully transition what I would deem well and others do not. The people who were successful are the ones who had a game plan and a passion and a determination.
I can turn to my friends and family for help and support. I can also turn to myself.
An empowering thought would be that I will handle whatever comes my way, I can prepare for the challenges ahead of time, and I am strong enough that whatever situation will not defeat me.
