Certainty is really a myth.
But in life, everything is rather 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.
The future can be incredibly exciting but you really don't have much control over it at all. You can also get completely stuck in living in the land of the future and it can destroy your life just as much as being stuck in the past. There's really nothing worse that disconnecting from your friends, family, and own life as you sacrifice everything for grasping at ambitions.
I should know. I spent most of my life living in the "promise" of the future.
I lived completely in the future and neglected showing up in this moment.
Underneath our desperation for a better life in the future is a desire to really connect with the present. Our heart often aches for it as we don't give it the nourishment it needs from being right "here." There's a fine line between having goals and dreams and giving yourself the opportunity to connect in the here and now. The most important part of balancing these things out is to be creating things that resonate deeply with your heart and not just because they are material goals.
I spent my whole life running from the person I was for the promise of the future. Every single time, I found out that I couldn't escape who I was and the only way my story was going to be any different was if I made some real significant changes to my life.
Take some time to really connect with what's going on and give yourself the best opportunity to live.
Uncertainty is beautiful.
