Day 3: Courage, What About the Future

A daily adventure that is part of battling with courage we seek every day, is the uncertainty of life and where we are being taken. Uncertainty about what is going to happen is a constant problem.  We can’t see the future so we are uneasy and unsettled about what is going to happen.  We have no control over certain things in the future.  Maybe it’s financial instability or maybe it pertains to our health.  Do you fear not having money to retire, or money to pay for repairs on your car, buying food, or paying rent?  Are you afraid that your health will deteriorate so badly that you need care beyond anything you know?  All of what I said is built around the uncertainty of ‘what if’ situations.  Challenges we think might happen, but haven’t.  We are torturing ourselves with things that we have projected as problems, and that kills our courage.  I have talked about how 90% of what we worry about never comes to fruition.  It only exists in our minds.
             
Determine those things we have current control over.  We can control our current health position by continuing to work out and eating healthier.  Work through or around our aches and pains.  Pain in our lives is meant to help you to decide what is important and what isn’t.  Your courage is built on your perseverance and determination.
