I was going on about all the things that were stressing me out...
My Grandma's response:
"Why are you borrowing problems from tomorrow?"
Me:
"I have to be prepared, and some of these problems are my problems of today"
Grandma:
I haven't heard a single problem of today, and you can't be prepared of what will happen tomorrow; you don't know what will happen tomorrow, you don't have control over that. So you might as well do what you NEED to do today, to make today happen.
She is so right, its about today, not what comes after. Tomorrow doesn't exist; its nothing more than a word for the day after today. Do you ever here someone saying "that was a great tomorrow" or "ya know tomorrow last week, that was a lot of fun"? No! I know its a silly way to get my point across but tomorrow doesn't hold a lot of value so why worry about it. Worrying about what happens after today is stupid, I can make plans but trying to control them and worrying about the outcome is useless, it just uses up energy I could be using for something awesome!
But why do I keep doing it? Oh wait I'm human! Ha!
Trying/controling/worrying are all choices on my part, so maybe I should choose to do something else...?!
I think What I should be doing is... enjoying my TODAY?...forgiving myself TODAY? replacing fear with curiosity TODAY! valuing myself TODAY! instigating confidence in myself TO-DAY and above all LOVING TODAY!!!
Hey NEXT-DAY, I'm just going to let you be... Ciao!
PS. Thank you Grandma, for your simple comments that help me figure it out!
