Will This Matter a Year from Now?
Ask Yourself this Question
The implication, of course, is that most things will not matter a year from now. And if they won't matter, what's the point of being upset today? However, there are things that will matter a year from now, will it matter if you have taken good physical care of yourself? Will the time you will have spent (or didn't spend) with your loved ones matter a year from now? Will it matter a year from now if you
save and invest some of your money? Will it matter if you spent at least a reasonable amount of time doing those things that are truly important in your life? If you meditate, pray, or stay dedicated to your spiritual practices, will it make a difference? Will it matter a year from now if you, or someone you love, dies, becomes very ill, or suffers a serious injury? The answer to all of these questions is,
"Of course, I will!".
Asking yourself variations of this question, and reflecting on the answers, is a powerful way to gauge the relative significance on the answers, is a powerful way to gauge the relative significance and importance of some of the events and circumstances of your life. Generally speaking, if something passes the one-year test, it's a good indication that it's worthy of your time and attention. If not, perhaps it's not worth prioritizing, over and above that which is necessary and practical.
Know That You Don't Know, and Then Step into the Unknown
Bring open to the possibility that brings wisdom and peace to your life
Risk can be difficult to evaluate objectively. It can be risky to jump off a roof. You could get hurt, break your leg, possibly even die. Yet, if the house is in flames, the failure to jump means an almost certain death. My acquaintance considered it extremely risky to bring the pain of this marriage out into the open. There was the actual risk of things getting worse. He imagined divorce, counselling ,fighting, hurt feelings, financial hardship, lawyers, kids being taken away -
all sorts of other things. How can one evaluate these risks? How real are they? It's hard to tell. Perhaps it's pure guesswork, or speculation.
Perhaps the safest answer after all may be to go ahead and take the risk. Often when the first step is taken
outside of the cage one wonders that all the fuss was about. Not always, but frequently, the freedom, relief, or at least hope that one feels is instantaneous. The first day of sobriety, the first safe night away from the abuser, the first date after losing the one you love, is experience as pure joy.
Overcome Aging Anxiety
Fight It Now
Think about the logic for a moment. There are plenty of twenty-nine-year-old men and women who are absolutely
paranoid and convinced that they are over-the-hill or getting old. You have to ask yourself the million-dollar question, "Is the problem really that person's age, or is it their thoughts about their age?" And if you agree that it's clearly not about age, but of one's thoughts, then the question becomes, "When does this change?" Does age suddenly become the
"real" factor when one turns thirty, forty, fifty or sixty?
