" Trust the wait.
Embrace the uncertainty.
Enjoy the beauty of becoming.
When nothing is certain, anything is possible."
- Mandy Hale
You know the feeling of driving on roads that are unknown?
How clueless you feel seeing the path in front of you;
And how you are constantly trying to figure the way out of reach to a desirable point from
somewhere you started.
Compare this to how you feel driving on the roads just outside your home.
How comfortable it is, how prepared you are for the potholes. Just how easy it is to be in the moment.
The point I am trying to make is that uncertainty is uncomfortable. Especially when you are in a very comfortable bubble.
But here’s a thing about bubbles. The higher they fly, higher is the probability of that bubble breaking due to the pressure it deals with.
Yes, uncertainty is uncomfortable.
But coming back to my example of an unknown road.
Do you know how amazing it feels when you finally reach your destination despite all the uncertainty? The adrenaline rush of knowing that you made it by yourself (Yes, I know google maps exist, but hear me out).
That is exactly the case with our lives. We spend most of our lives living in a comfortable position.
However, we are constantly in search of what we desire; because it does not exist in our comfort zone.
We have to break out of that bubble, survive the fall, and somehow get back up to take the path never taken by us, find a direction towards our deepest desires.
So as I understand, uncertainty can trigger a lot of fear and anxiety.
I feel we are doing a great job if we break out of our sweet and happy bubbles and embark upon the journey on a long foreign road.
