We are so used to focusing on the future as if being able to predict the future is the prerequisite to live in the now, you are driven by your notion of fear towards the unknown which takes you to a future-like reality that is actually simply a loop of life that repeats itself until you can transcend your notions. Unknown is simply the true nature of the future, no one can predict precisely what future will be as every man/thing/event is impermanent in nature that changes at every moment of now, therefore, unknown is the truth about the word FUTURE.
If you can courageously embrace and step into the unknown with faith for the divine, you will advance significantly in your spiritual path through simply following the divine flow of life which keeps unfolding itself in every new moment of now right before you.
