Live for the present.

I think what you are looking for is faith.
You have to have faith in yourself, that everything will work out at the end. This doesn't mean that everything will be good. It means that when shit hits the fan, you'll be able to handle it.
E.g. worst case scenario you land on the street, homeless. You have to have faith in yourself, that you'll react to this situation by working your ass off looking for a job.

Most fears come from parents. Are you scared of being homeless or are you scared how your parents will feel when you are homeless?

Just remember, no matter what you may accomplish, may possess, or may experience in your life, you'll be dead by the end of it.

right now is all there is.
everything else is an illusion

Mediate for three minutes at a time whenever you feel anxious about the future. Close your eyes and focus on breathing in deeply and exhaling slowly. Think about everything you have done that day, from waking up to brushing your teeth to what you ate. Don't think about the future or what you have to do later that day.

When your timer ends your short session you should often find you could have sat for longer. By all means, set another three minutes but if you feel calmed at all continue your day as usual.

Having short mediation session greatly refocus me while I am working on anything that causes me to think about the future
