Uncertainty Is Really A Beautiful Thing

By Evan Sanders


Certainty is really a myth.

Despite our best efforts to create the future, life is pretty uncertain.

The land of uncertainty, while scary at times, is actually the home of the one of the greatest adventures of all. When we are living in uncertainty, we give ourselves the opportunity to be open to everything that the world has to offer us. We connect. We show up as the greatest version of ourselves. We live and breathe in this moment and fully live.

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.

That was how I lived my life.

I lived completely in the future and neglected showing up in this 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.

Take some time to really connect with what's going on and give yourself the best opportunity to live.

The land of uncertainty is beautiful.
