The future is a scary yet exciting thing. I find myself at a point where I need to face the future rather than try to put it off. There are so many decisions that I need to make and it all scares me. I feel pushed and pulled in different directions and I'm not sure what I should be doing.
Thing is, the future will look after itself and the best way to prepare yourself for the future is to surround yourself with great people who love you and will support you no matter what you decide to eventually do with your life. These people should be people that you feel you can openly talk to yet they will be honest with you. I know that I am young so it's better to hear that your friends don't think you are suitable for a certain job now rather than when I'm 50-odd.
To make the future less scary, you should talk about it. Talk about your fears, dreams and ambitions. I am so thankful that I will be meeting up with my best friend in the near future so that I can talk about all these things. I know what I want to say, but I will go into this light hearted chat with an open mind and willing to listen to what they are going to say to me. I shan't go in thinking that I only have one option or my life is worthless because that's a lie and an unhealthy thing to think. I'm sure many people my age have no idea what they are going to end up doing, so I know that I am not alone in this.
Decisions are hard to make. I try and put them off because that delays the future, right? Wrong. The tip is to be honest with yourself and be open. Don't bottle up an idea because you think it's too ambitious or you aren't willing to put the work in to achieving that goal because, if that is the case, then maybe that idea isn't for you.
The future is scary but I'm in it for the long run. Tomorrow's the start of a new beginning.
Stay Strong
Michael
