Mindset Assignment
Being afraid of the unknown is part of the human experience. None of us know what tomorrow may bring. The interesting thing about that fear is that it can be positive or negative. If you’ve been excited about the prospect of starting a new job, starting a new relationship, or venturing to a new place, you’re experiencing the positive side. If you’re worried about something in the future that may be an unpleasant experience like having to confront someone about a problem or ending a personal or professional relationship, you’re experiencing the negative side.
You may be feeling this way in this class; excited to learn new things and start a new chapter in your life, frustrated if you struggle with a concept, happy when you understand and succeed, worried about how to juggle class with the rest of what is going on in your life. Whether your fear of the unknown is positive or negative, read this article about embracing the unknown and how it allows you to continue on your journey and see where it goes.
