“Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don’t let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.”- R.I. Fitzhenry
I’ve experienced three major life-changing periods in my life. One was in the late 1990′s (and I can definitely say I am in the throes of big transitions now).
At that time, everything in my life seemed to be in flux. I felt at a crossroads filled with excitement and huge fear. Where was I going? What might happen next? At times, I felt overwhelmed with so many questions and so much uncertainty.
One day, while at a low point, I flipped on the TV and caught one of the Public Broadcasting Station fundraising drives. Deepak Chopra was the featured presenter. He was introducing his view about uncertainty. To illustrate his point, he recalled a story that involved his son during the Christmas holidays. When asked what he wished for in the New Year, his son replied, “I wish for another year of uncertainty.”
I felt my stomach churn with upset when I heard that! You gotta be kidding!
The essence of his message was this:
Open your mind to see uncertainty as a state of possibility. Limitless possibilities. So often we view uncertainty with dread and anticipation of something negative happening to us. Imagine seeing the potential of limitless possibilities that might result in wonderfull things happening. In other words, expect the best instead of expect the worst.
What if you held the thought, “I wonder what new (and exciting) experiences might be coming my way?” and pondered upon the delightfull possibilities instead of fearing the unknown.
What if you approached life as learning experiences rather than problems or obstacles to overcome?
What if you stood strong in affirming that The Universe is a friendly place and that each moment of every day you walked with your best friend – your personal Divine who is madly in love with you and want your life to be FABULOUS?
And…what if you made the choice to serve God rather than your ego? And decided to turn repeatedly back to God when you felt the slippery grip of your mind pulling you down.
If everything always stayed the same, day in and day out, imagine what your life be like personally and professionally…
How would you grow and expand as a person?
What challenges would invite your best to emerge?
How would your passions be expressed in ways that inspired you and others?
What would delight and bring you joy?
“The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.” – Ursula K. LeGuin
So, now imagine stepping into new experiences with an explorer’s sense of adventure and curiosity! Imagine that everything is unfolding perfectly and guiding you to an extraordinary life even if your outer reality doesn’t look that way.
When you open your mind and heart to possibilities, amazing things can happen! When you invite your Personal Divine to be your partner in all areas of your life and make that your most precious relationship, MAGIC happens.
Your invitation:
1. Adopt a new attitude about uncertainty. Create opportunities to playfully approach uncertainty with an open mind and heart. Be the explorer every day! Unleash your adventurous nature as you live in the mystery. Be sure to stay in communion and conversati0on with God throughout your day!
2. Watch what happens when you are open to possibilities. You might find people and opportunities coming to you that you might have missed when you approached uncertainty as a negative.
3. Notice your reaction to this exercise. Learn more about yourself. Tip: Journaling is a great tool to capture your thoughts and feelings!
All is well
