Fear of the Unknown

The Unknown is probably the thing most feared by us humans.

We want to know the outcome of everything BEFORE we endeavor to try it.

Soon to be parents fear losing their unborn child or having one born unhealthy.

We fear death or when we are going to die.

We fear getting married, or divorced.

We fear going to college or getting a new job.

We fear starting a business. Being a business owner, an entrepreneur.

All the things we fear are because they are unknown to us.

You never know if you'll carry a baby to full term. My first grand baby was a month early only weighing 3 pounds, her second child was a week late weighing 9 pounds. Both were healthy, thank goodness, but we feared the whole time, not knowing if delivery would go well or if she would need a C-section.

We don't know when or where we are going to die unless we plan that ourselves. I highly discourage anyone from doing that! It's not worth it. (In case it doesn't work as planned)

We don't know if we will have a successful marriage!

I surely didn't know how I could financially manage life on my own after divorce... Supporting a family.

Going to college can be scary and exciting.

Starting a new job is nerve racking, hoping you get along with the boss, etc.

Being self employed has MANY unknowns! And it's scary as hell! And I fear the unknown often.

Just because we do not know the outcome, let's not allow fear to paralyze us.

Keep on moving, start from scratch and keep on scratching.
