Our lives are filled with so much uncertainty these days. And, uncertainty for most of us makes us feel vulnerable, so we try and escape it any way that we can. We convince ourselves that we are fortune tellers and can therefore see the future. We make ourselves crazy, spinning our minds through the same handful of scenarios we come up with, over and over again, never feeling any closer to some sort of resolution. However, it seems, despite our need for control, a great paradox of life is that it is only through the embracing of uncertainty that we actually can thrive. In fact, our lives are greatly determined by what we do when we get uncertain. And, without uncertainty, we might never grow because we would never be pushed beyond our comfort zones. Many people do not end up following their true passions because it is seemingly impractical, or because there is a large degree of perceived uncertainty associated with following that path. Today it is time to awaken to the fact that contrary to popular beliefs, not knowing exactly what will happen next in your life is okay. In fact, it is actually liberating. The ability to let go, not know, and not try to totally control what will happen next is a necessary skill for living happy, joyous, and free. And, when you accept that things are unknown, that you don’t have all of the answers, you can see that lessons are always available if you are paying attention. When you trust, let go, and embrace the uncertainty, that noise in your own mind subsides.

Ironically, the quietness created by letting go of the need to know then allows contact with your own intuition, and you actually get clearer direction from within your own heart and you can feel more certain about this direction. Today, let go of your need to know what comes next, trust yourself and your intuition to guide you and allow yourself to get comfortable with the uncertainty of life.

Just for today, I am willing to do something different. I am willing to step out of my comfort zone and experience my life in a whole new way. Each day I stretch my comfort zone a little further. I release all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy. I feel safe and secure in my world. I trust Life. I trust myself and I trust that everything is always working out for my highest good. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
