The myth of living in certainty is pretty powerful.
This life is all truly uncertain.
The land of uncertainty, while scary at times, is actually the home of the one of the greatest adventures of all. When we are living in uncertainty, we give ourselves the opportunity to be open to everything that the world has to offer us. We connect. We show up as the greatest version of ourselves. We live and breathe in this moment and fully live.
While the future can be exciting, it's also a dangerous place. Not many people believe that the future can take a negative toll on their life but it certainly can. You can get just as stuck living in the future as you are living in the past. When you begin to grasp at goals and ambitions that don't resonate with your deepest purpose things can get messy.
I should know. I spent most of my life living in the "promise" of the future.
I ran from my past and refused to live in the present moment.
Goals and dreams are fantastic things to have in your life but you have to be careful that you don't shut everything down to achieve them. Sometimes, the price we pay to seek out our ambitions is often far greater than what we achieve. Without staying completely grounded in this world, we sacrifice ourselves and everything around us for the dancing shadows of the material.
My problem was that I looked at the future as a location where it might all turn out and everything would be alright. Wrong. You need to be okay with what is going on today. When you can really live in the moment and let the uncertainty of the future handle itself, happiness creeps in.
Take some time to really connect with what's going on and give yourself the best opportunity to live.
The land of uncertainty is beautiful.
