Uncertainty is inherently terrifying. The unknown holds boundless possibility of danger. We simply don’t know. Thus, we tend to find some space of reliable familiarity to rest within. It’s like steering a vehicle you’ve learned to use intuitively vs. a complex spaceship never stepped foot in before. The difference between deeply knowing in your being, the result of each lever pushed vs. having absolutely no clue what may happen with each press of a button. It can be exciting but also nerve-wracking. These share the same energy pattern.

However, while the unknown posses a blatant, palpable potentiality for danger, there is a threat to remaining where you already are. Wherever that may be. Though, the comfort of familiarity obscures this danger. A branch that doesn’t bend, breaks.

I often find myself questioning what lies ahead. It’s like walking through thick darkness, only being able to see a few feet from where I stand. I wonder the significance of what I do, where it all leads, and I know I can’t possibly ever perceive the entirety of cascading effects anything I do may have…

Lacking absolute certainty of what’s ahead doesn’t disqualify the endeavor. It’s certainly much more exciting than following a predictable path to its predictable end.
