Many are working hard to secure their future. What can be done to ensure that? What are you doing?
I have seen many people who think too much about the future and forget to live today. They cannot be happy with what they have today, and their experiences will not be different tomorrow. Only those who are satisfied with the situation today will be able to live happily even if the situation is better tomorrow. Many people struggle to save for retirement. Insurance policy is one of them. Why take insurance? Life insurance is a plan to provide financial support to our dependents in case of our untimely death. But many people misunderstand this as a savings plan and invest too much savings in this way. Then there are those who experience difficulty even for daily expenses. Another is health insurance. Having this insurance only protects you from the huge financial burden of treatment. We have to take care of our health. Having insurance does not improve health.
Others rely on investments. If they also try to grow investments instead of living today, the result will not be the other way round. People who have a lot of investments tend to think about rising interest rates and how to grow their money, forgetting to live in this day and age. Some struggle to enhance beauty and fashion. They believe that their life is based on beauty. A few people try to start businesses that generate income without effort to retire early and live comfortably. Still others struggle to stay young with the help of modern inventions. Others use faith and devotion to prepare for a long reign.
No matter what we try, we find that there is no one hundred percent safe method. There are many who tried hard to secure their future and failed. So, what is the solution? One thing is for sure, we cannot control our life or our future. As this life is given to us without asking, we are not in full control of how we can live in this world and how we want to live it. Our death and the lives of our dependents are not under our control. Our duty is to live as good in life as is possible under the circumstances available to us today. Our future depends on many uncontrollable factors. So be free from worry and live happily by helping others, it will be good for us.
Encourage you to live comfortably without worrying about the future.
