Why worry about tomorrow ? -"Live Life Right Here Right Now "

How many of us are worried about tomorrow?

We are all doing something today for our tomorrows ?
My job today will lead me into promotion soon (tomorrows), my studies today will lead me into a good job some day (tomorrows), my today is for a better tomorrow 
Does it mean my yesterday was for a better today !

Also such a famous contradicting quote "you never know what is going to happen tomorrow, so enjoy your today"

Well. What if I am stressed today-about tomorrow? 

I want to draw your attention to a Bible Verse 
"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" - Matthew 6:34

This is perhaps so true, each day has its own call, its own issues, unpredictable and unanticipated problems; how then can you be so ascertain ?

I know my studies, job, career hard work today will reward me tomorrow but because of this thought can I over burden my today with- stress, fear and anxiety about tomorrow?

Let me share a real life example,
When I was studying last year -in 2017, It was academically - challenging, frustrating and a very negative year, what ever I did added to nothing, I would work but my mentors would just not appreciate it, things got really bad, I thought my today is not going to lead me into another positive tomorrow, It had a real bad impact on me, my life. 
But Gods favor lead me into where I am today, however on personal level my efforts in preparation for a better tomorrow had just failed, I was so anxious and worried.
Bible Verse leading "Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"
- Matthew 6:27
I added nothing through worrying about tomorrow, nothing at all - yes I was clueless and what I added was negativity, negative thoughts, anger, I lost faith from myself.
One episode in my story- of worry added nothing positive yet everything pessimist. I thought I will be happy only if this hurdle got cleared and due to that stress I missed out on a lot of things, it was not that I was studying 24x7, I was so stressed that I forgot I was blessed. 


So Today I want to encourage you, STOP THINKING/ WORRYING ABOUT TOMORROW, 
"Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life" Matthew 6:25

No one except the creator knows what will happen tomorrow, make sure you stay happy & positive today, work hard today but not with a thought of tomorrow ! 
Do not think I will be happy only if tomorrow I could get that CEO position, or because I topped the university, do not wait for summer, winter, people, true love to happen, to make you happy-
             do not wait for tomorrow to be happy today, life goes on in all situations.

LIVE YOUR PRESENT FOR TODAY
Rather than dwelling and living in future 
Live your life right here right now

Whom, what, why- than shall I fear ?

How many of us have some sort of fear ? I was astonished to know about the fear list that exists. E.g.- Fear of heights is acrophobia, fear of aircrafts or flying is aerophobia, fear of colors is chromatophobia, fear of pain is algophobia and fear of having fear itself exists which is phobophobia.  I had a really weird list of fears too, I was afraid to wear the clothes, shoes or use the things during which I got failure, even if I prepared for an exam wearing those shoes or clothes, or using a thing and the outcome was failure. I would fear, I would be afraid, scared to use or wear it again. I feared people, assignments, deadlines, relationships, teachers- I had a long list of fears in life. It was really a hard time to overcome these 'superstitions' or 'fears', though even now I sometimes see my favorite white converse, remember the bad incident and for good long time think if I should wear them or not ?- I know sounds crazy! " It is not good to h

Plans and schedule !

How many of us and how many times have we made a schedule, time-table or a plan ? Almost all of us plan and prepare schedules and time tables in a diary, chalk board/ white board or on the mobile phone planner. The next thing that happens to most of us is that this time table almost all the time never works out- either we have overslept or missed one activity as per the schedule which spoils the entire time table and schedule system. We feel disappointed and upset, in anger we delete, cut or trash the time table made. However, in few weeks, months or days we don't give up and make another plan/ time table/ schedule in hope and determination to make it work this time, perhaps not always it happens.  Likewise when we think why is God doing this, why is my struggle not getting over, why this situation why that and in mind we question: God hello! are you real, can you hear me can you see me, God have mercy ! It is because God has already planned something great for you

INTRODUCTION to ETC

Introduction of ETC "ETC" stands for Encouragement Through Christ. The concept of ETC has been to encourage and motivate people, using verses and scriptures from Bible and life experiences. The whole point of opening up a blog page, posting pictures and quotes is to boost up the morale of all individuals. We all know there is immense stress, pressure and competition in the world and several times we find ourselves in need to overcome these struggles perhaps not all individuals happen to be in an environment or company where you get word of appreciation and support, this gave a vision to write blogs and quotes to look at the same situation with a lens of faith and positivity. ETC page initially commenced via Facebook and further moved on to another social media platform - Instagram (Link to which is found next to home button on the blog page) and on 21st June 2018 ETC is on bloggers for an extended vision of encouraging devotions, that will be posted every week .
