We often make the mistake of thinking that the best way to deal with uncertainty is to remove it from our lives.
It makes sense because without all these unknowns there is less risk and you will feel safer.
But the problem with this approach is that you can’t control everything. Uncertainty will always be a part of life.
However, just because you can’t control it doesn’t mean you should let it control you. Think of the uncertainty like a wave in the ocean. There are small waves, little uncertainties like whether the bus will be on time. Then, there are the big waves, the major uncertainties like whether you’ll be made redundant or how long the pandemic will last.
The small waves can be annoying or frustrating but they pass with ease. The big waves on the other hand they have the power to totally consume us. And so we have to embrace the uncertainty and or else you’ll get caught in the wave and wipe out.
