Edge of the seatThere is always that edge of the seat feeling when something is supposed to happen yet it’s not happening. Something’s gotta give yet it doesn’t. The anxiety caused by the suspense is very tiring.
This happens to everyone of us. Whether it’s our examination results or admissions, loan sanctions or pregnancy results, life and death, marriages and divorces, likes and hatreds, in love or not in love…. The times we wish to get answers from such unnerving situations are many in life.
Even if we know the outcomes by gut feel, we still have that anxiety within us. The either/or is a terrible time. Especially if it is related to someone close to us. Our children’s results gives us sleepless nights, whereas they are least bothered. Sometimes the one who is responsible for our own anxiousness is not even aware that we are suffering.
Like they say, you will either grow bald or have grey hair soon because you worry so much. The tensions are too much and then there are those splitting headaches and body sweats. You go through mental and physical trauma. It grows as the deadline approaches nearer and nearer. Your head throbs violently and you feel terribly sick. So do you think there is any solution to this problem?
Yes, of course. There are solutions to almost everything in this world. Let’s question a few beliefs!
Do you think anything will change by worrying so much? Your results are going to be the same as they are programmed to come. That means your results are predetermined. Yet, by getting in a tizzy can never alter them. The time, space, moment, method, etc. are all determined well in advance. The future has been written already. Your anxiety is in no way helping anything at all. Instead you are spoiling your health and wellness. Your anxiety will cause you more troubles. Surely, you will be greying a lot faster.
You have given your best shot and tries and put in the maximum efforts to do whatever that you were supposed to do then stop worrying. Like they say in the song- que sera sera! Whatever will be, will be! So don’t you go about worrying so much.
Life goes on and you will be happy once the results are out. But then again you will never stop worrying.
It’s in your nature to worry so worry, you will. Even if the god comes down to tell you that all is well, you will still be tense.
You should have more faith in your own self and others too. Faith is the word which makes the world go round. The power of faith in that invisible God can help you tide over any situation.
So have faith in The Lord and know fully well that every little thing is arranged and preprogrammed. Your path has been laid out. There is not a single moment in time that you are not being taken care of. Have complete faith in God, surrender to His will and just forge ahead. Don’t bother about results and outcomes.
The time spent on bothering and getting anxious can be spent constructively by planning for the next situation in life. Be ready for every obstacle. Plan better and have clear cut goals. You will be happy. Don’t focus on the minds useless talk. The mind is minding its own business. You mind yours.
