What If Everything Works Out?

People often stress about things that haven’t even happened yet. As good old Ed Foreman mentioned in his excellent audio cassette, How to Have a Good Day Every Day, “Worrying is negative goal setting.” Most people tend to worry about situations that are either in the future or will never happen at all.

We find ourselves thinking about our careers, relationships, college or university assignments, and countless other things. Questions such as:

“What if I fail my exam?”

“What if my partner cheats on me?”

“What if I get fired from my job?”

“What if I have no friends?”

“What will happen when I get older?”

What if, what if, what if… We worry instead of focusing on the present moment. In one of my earlier blog posts How Meditation Changed me Internally, I shared how I found inner peace and how I continue to return to that state almost daily.

You might be thinking that either you or someone you know has tried techniques like this once or twice and didn’t see any results. Let me share an interesting experience I had a while ago.

While I was living in Canada, my home country went to war. Bombs were falling across cities, threats and horrific news filled social media and news outlets. Everyone seemed to be blaming the government, other people, other countries—spreading negativity everywhere.

I had every reason to worry. My parents were still living back home. Strangely enough, I wasn’t worried. I was actually laughing and enjoying the moment. I was using the exact method I’ve written about in my other Blogs. Deep down, I had complete certainty that everything would be fine.

I reminded myself of a quote from Nuggets of Gold by Kevin Trudeau:

“Everything will be fine in the end. If things aren’t fine now, it just means it’s not the end yet.” [Trudeau, Kevin. “Nuggets of Gold for Total Success in Life,” phrase 118. Self-published e‑book, 2021. Accessed June 20, 2025. https://nuggetsofgold.com/]

People were genuinely surprised by how calm I was during such a chaotic time. I even received a phone call from my father telling me everything was okay and that they were doing well. He said, “I’m just calling to make sure you feel at ease.”

“I’m not worried,” I responded. “I’m just enjoying my life.”

He laughed and said, “You don’t need a DNA test. You’re just like your grandfather.” Then he shared a story:

“A few decades ago, back in my hometown, things got pretty intense. People were carrying guns, and mobs were burning down banks. Your grandfather owned a commercial building. On the ground floor was a bank where he had all his savings.”

This happened in the early 1970s, a time when everything was cash-based. There were no credit or debit cards, and most importantly, no computer databases. All financial records were kept on paper.

When the banks were burned down, people lost their money. The only way to prove your balance was through passbooks, which recorded deposits and withdrawals.

My father continued, “Everyone around your grandfather was panicking. If that bank went up in flames, he wouldn’t just lose his savings, but also the rental income from the building.”

“One night, when things got really bad, he told the family, ‘I’m going to my room. I surrender to the Highest Self—He knows what’s best for me.’ He went in, closed the door, picked up his Holy Book, and started reading. After some time, he turned off the light and went to sleep.”

“It wasn’t just that night. Reading the Holy Book was part of his daily ritual. A couple of weeks later, everything calmed down. Every bank in town had been burned or shut down—except one. The bank that was renting space in your grandfather’s building.”

Some might say he was just lucky. That’s a fair assumption. And let me share another story—this time, about a close friend of mine who defied the odds in his life.

A few years ago, I asked him, “How do you always seem to get what you ask for while others don’t?”

His answer shook me to the soles of my feet:

“I’m lucky, and I’ve always been lucky. Most people go around thinking they’re unlucky, that they were born on the wrong side of the tracks.”

“Whether you call it the universe, God, the law of attraction, or something else, that force is always listening. Its job is to bring into your life exactly what you’re asking for. So if someone keeps telling themselves, ‘I’m unlucky,’ they’ll keep getting proof of that belief.”

“I’ve spent years affirming in my prayers, conversations, journaling, dreams—you name it—that I’m the luckiest man on the planet. And guess what? I truly am the luckiest SOB alive.”

I have to admit, this man experiences miracles left and right.

The point I’m trying to make is this: when you let go of worry and anxiety—when you surrender to something higher and genuinely believe that you are safe, supported, and that your desires are on their way—that’s when things begin to shift.

Even if you don’t believe in a higher power, techniques like Thought Field Therapy (TFT), meditation, journaling, and others can still create powerful change. You need to believe in what you're receiving. And for those who do believe—regardless of your faith—the moment of surrender, coupled with belief, is truly magical.

Close your eyes for a moment. I invite you to go within and let your mind lead you to a place where you feel completely safe. It might be a jungle, a quiet beach, a mountaintop, your childhood home, or anywhere else your inner world takes you. Breathe. Look around with your inner eyes. Feel the peace and joy that quietly live there.

Even if you feel only a little peace—or none at all—try the TFT technique (you can check it from this link), then try it again. You deserve to feel joy. It’s already within you. All you need to do is uncover it. And once you do, it’s yours.
