Living with uncertainty

Life is all about uncertainty. Living life not knowing when is the last day. Meeting the family members not sure if it would be the last day to see them. Nothing is certain in this world. For such a scenario, one might wonder. How can I live in the unknown? How will I survive? What shall I do to go on?

Living with uncertainty requires a shift in perspective. Its all about how you perceive and approach a situation. I remember this event when a dear person to me was in deep coma and the majority of people predicted his death. Only one person didn’t. She had the belief that he will be alright and she remained on that hope till he recovered.

To experience uncertainty to the fullest, we need to understand the possibility mindset. What is possible in this situation? What could happen if I just allow nature to do its magic? The possibility mindset is turning around our victim mindset to the empowering one. Its where you tell yourself: Anything is possible in this life. Since the life energy is pumping inside me, there is a chance of amazing miracles to happen. Experiencing life is amazing but when we fall into our limitations and look at lack and what is not, then we undermine the powerful force of this precious life.

To cultivate the possibility mindset, look around you. Look at life. How the sky and earth have come to existence. Notice the creatures, the air you breath, your body functioning, the day and night, the heat and cold. How nature is perfectly organized. These all indicate that life is precious and its worth it holding on to hope and faith instead of giving up.
