Handling uncertainty is an inescapable part of day to day life. Because we can’t see the future, we can never be certain about what exactly is going to happen next day.
I was struggling with this issue since long, but I have recently started feeling that though I am at a crossroads in my career and personal life, life has become little pleasant. I have started considering all the possible options and due to which the meaning of life has been changed. I have come to realize that my concept of “knowing” actually used to hinder me from the facts and more adventures earlier.
Many of us have experienced staying in an undesirable bonding or soul sipping jobs because the uncertainty of abandoning those situations created more anxiety then the certainty of staying in those despondent situations.
Many of us do not end up following our true desire, because it is seemingly unrealistic or there is a chance of uncertainty related with that path.
Majority of religions teach us that there is a power greater than ourselves and it is ok sometimes to let it go. I have found it painless to let go in many circumstances when I am able to concede that I am not the only force for that particular thing to happen, there are circumstances far beyond my control that are hampering my life . And it’s the fact that some things in life are not under your control, so why not let go them and embrace uncertainty.
There are no affirmations, when we move ahead into the undisclosed chapter, but it is in this unknown interval of discomfort lives most important adventure arises. Without uncertainty, we might never improve and progress because we would never be pushed beyond our comfort area.
Making peace with uncertainty requires audacity that no matter what happens, you will find a way through it, that you don’t want to have all the answers today itself.
We can’t encapsulate a new uncertain future when the idea of how a particular thing should be is already there in our mind. When we believe and embrace uncertainty, that thought of controlling each and everything in our mind diminishes. I have found and experienced if you really want to be a good acceptor of uncertainty you should really spend some alone time with yourself either by travelling or by just sitting in a quiet place. Whenever I feel the level of uncertainty is increasing in my life than I try to find comfort with the fact that today, I don’t have all the answers of what’s going to happen next.
And I will keep listening to my heart, and accept that I am absolutely happy even though I don’t have all the answers.
Follow your heart and be happy!!

Uncertainty is good, as it pushes your mind to look out for a solution.however, as excess of anything is bad, uncertainty for too long is dangerous as it weakens your ability to adapt to changes.makes sense? -:)

Hi abhishek, I agree with your point that \”uncertainty\” for a long period is bad, but there are some circumstances which we cannot control, in which you feel like you are on crossroads and you get so obsessed about finding all the answers due to which you start losing sight of things and stop living. So in those few circumstances you should accept uncertainty and let it go !! 🙂

think you are happy If you don't know the questions itself. Else very difficult to be happy without knowing the answers. Only real yogi can do that.
