creating certainty
For a moment, imagine you are presented with an opportunity that would greatly benefit your life but comes with no guarantee of success and real risk of failure. As you consider your options, do you find yourself stuck in analysis paralysis? Do you try to predict all the possible outcomes? Game out every scenario?
Whenever uncertainty stops you from going after something you really want, it's an indicator that you’re looking for certainty in external conditions. External conditions, whether your relationships, work, finances, possessions, or status, are inherently dynamic—they change, sometimes in dramatic and surprising ways. But people often live under the illusion that these conditions are reliable and stable. Whenever you rely on external conditions to provide a shelter of certainty for you, you are living in a house of cards. In any moment the relationship can end, the economy can collapse, and the client, employer, or market can decide your services are no longer needed.
The certainty you seek does not live in external conditions. It lives in you. In fact, it gets created by you.
Be the certainty you’re looking for.
When you're willing to create what's needed moment by moment for the life you deeply desire, you don’t need a crystal ball to predict how your choices are going to turn out—YOU become responsible for how your choices turn out instead.
You are the most powerful predictor of your future. Keep creating in the face of every challenge and failure along the way. Be the certainty you're looking for.
What action would you take if how it all turns out is really up to you?
