"If we can recognize that change and uncertainty are basic principles, we can greet the future and the transformation we are undergoing with the understanding that we do not know enough to be pessimistic." -Hazel Henderson (1981)
One of my favorite books of all time is Martin Seligman"s "Learned Optimism." It is a classic, and it makes so much sense. The subtitle is "How to Change Your Mind and Your Life." It"s just a matter of looking at things, including the future, differently. It can make a huge difference in how we experience things.

"The future is made of the same stuff as the present."
-Simone Weil, 1968
It's so amazing how true this is. So many times I meet people and our experiences in life have been so similar - it's almost like we're all living the same life - maybe in different places, or different times, but the lessons we learn are universal. And the lessons don't change. We've heard them time and time again, it's just up to us to assimilate them into our lives until we "get it."
