There's really no such thing as certainty.
This life is all truly uncertain.
You don't need to be scared of uncertainty. In fact, the coming to terms with uncertainty is a pretty powerful moment. When you give up always trying to create your future or escaping your past and truly show up in this moment, you give yourself the opportunity to actually live a life. It's only when you try to move out of the present moment that things can start to get pretty shaky at times.
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.
That was my old story
I refused to live in the present 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 entire life looking at the future as the place where everything was going to be fine, but once I got there, everything was still a mess. You can't escape the person you are now, you can only change that person daily and in the present moment.
Learn to tap into this moment and appreciate it for what it is. That's all we're able to do right?
Uncertainty is beautiful.
