Sitting With Uncertainty

We live in a world of instant gratification- we can order something on Amazon and get it the same day- and instant knowing- we can google something and get the answer in seconds. We come to expect this in our life- when we need to make a decision or choose a path, we may expect to immediately know, to immediately get answers. And maybe if we don’t trust ourselves, we may seek externally for the answer, either by asking others what we should do or making a logical decision based on what we “should” do.

We don’t know how to sit in the unknown and sit with the uncertainty. We don’t know how to be in this void space of nothingness. 

Taking action- even if it’s uninspired- feels safer than non-action. 

Which makes sense- it’s scary and uncomfortable. 

And, ironically, it is often here- in the void- where our answers lie. It is when we can sit with the unknowing that we start to find clarity, and when we sit with the uncertainty that we start to find our truth.
