Certainty is really a myth.
Despite our best efforts to create the future, life is pretty uncertain.
When you really look at it uncertainty is absolutely beautiful. When you live in a world brim-full of uncertainty, you give yourself the chance to live in possibility and be truly happy. Those two things come together only when you let go of the past and future and come back to this moment. When you begin to try to separate yourself from uncertainty by trying to paint what your future is going to look like, that is when you can begin to get into a pinch of difficulty.
While the future can be exciting, it's also a dangerous place. Not many people believe that the future can take a negative toll on their life but it certainly can. You can get just as stuck living in the future as you are living in the past. When you begin to grasp at goals and ambitions that don't resonate with your deepest purpose things can get messy.
I should know. I spent most of my life living in the "promise" of the future.
I ran from my past and 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?
The land of uncertainty is beautiful.
