It’s possible to close out a lot of uncertainty by leaving little to chance. Doing so will help avoid some of those undesirable outcomes that uncertainty can bring. But it also leaves out something far more important: All the really great stuff that we can’t even imagine. Things that are so incredibly amazing, they’re beyond our wildest dreams.
By closing out uncertainty, we sell ourselves short. We force ourselves to relive past experiences and limit our person growth and evolution. If life is a seed, uncertainty is the water. We need it to become our full potential.
There is a time and a place for planning and goal setting (i.e., in the workplace, at the gym), but there is also a time and a place for being uncontrolled, for not having structure or plans. There’s a time and place for opening yourself to the possibilities of the universe. That time is now, and that place is your life.
