no fear of the future

Again I find spiritual words in unlikely places. I've been watching the BBC’s "The Adventures of Merlin."

Merlin is a young man who says he is scared of the future. His guardian, the physician, tells him that the future is not yet shaped. It is we who will shape it by the decisions we make and the actions we take.

We need not fear the future if we have influence over it.

Besides which, I believe Eckardt Tolle would say there's no need to fear the future because it will never get there. Everything happens in the Now.

So, if we make our present the best it can be, that is all we need.
Things that make you go hmm…
