There is no way of knowing what the next day- or even hour- may bring. Altough you would like to know and are living in the set believe that you actually do know and are even able to plan and decide upon you future, long- and short-term. Yet the so called "future" is in reality nothing more than a figment of your Mind. The Mind needs the future- as well as the past, which is in truth nothing more but subjective memories- in order to secure its existance. Without Mind there is only the here-now, free from either past or future. The Mind needs these two in order to build a kind of net in which it feels comparatively secure. However in a individual prone to worrying, fearing, doubting this safety net is rather like a deadly trap or dark labyrinth or set of heavy chains. But in any case, the belief in past and future is holding you back from being free, from living your full potential and from enjoying every minute of this presciuos and unique life in Earth. All Life is change and change is never predictable. By blieving it to be so, you are losing touch with it and are taking away its beauty and magic. Also, wanting always to know and plan what happens next, believing in predictions of all sorts, you become afraid of life's inherent change and unpredictability. Change not only meaning renewal of some sort but simultaneously death as well, thus becomes a constant threat, especially in its death aspect. Death as such is feared by most because they are living their lives largely governed by their Ego-Minds. The latter striving to survive at any cost. Thus frantically holding on to the past and future, mortally afraid of the unknown and unpredictable you are actually hindering your-self from experiencing the here-now, which is equivalent with freedom, happiness and peace of Mind and Heart- independent of outward circumstances in life.
There is always a way out of any situation in life. If at times you feel there is none it is because you are staring straight ahead believing to be infallibly sure of your next step. Instead of allowing yourself the possibility to turn around a walk back a few steps from whence you came from and simply observe your prior position from this little distance. Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.
