“The search for security is an illusion. In ancient wisdom traditions, the solution to this whole dilemma lies in the wisdom of insecurity, or the wisdom of uncertainty.
“This means of the search for security and certainty is actually an attachment to the known. And what’s the known? The known is our past. The known is nothing other than the prison of past conditioning. There’s no evolution in that…
“Uncertainty, on the other hand, is the fertile ground of pure creativity and freedom. Uncertainty means stepping into the unknown in every moment of our existence. The unknown is the field of all possibilities, ever fresh, ever new, always open to the creation of new manifestations…
“In your willingness to step into the unknown, you will have the wisdom of uncertainty factored in. This means that in every moment of your life, you will have excitement, adventure, mystery…
“When you experience uncertainty, you are on the right path so don’t give it up. You don’t need to have a complete and rigid idea of what you’ll be doing next week or next year, because if you have a very clear idea of what’s going to happen and you get rigidly attached to it, then you shut out the whole range of possibilities…
Affirmation:
“Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge…the more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.”
~Deepak Chopra from The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

Love this! Living in the wave and just holding what particulates out for the moment, letting possibility lead the way. We can then take responsibility for the choices we make instead of projecting blame on others.

I going to put this affirmation on my fridge. Reading it made me feel scared and I also felt a sense of freedom, relief…trying to constantly control the unknown is like living in a prison where adventure,exploring the beauty of the unknown are not in the menu..I love the affirmation!

But don’t forget that there’s certainty/assurance in this world.
It is in believing in Jesus Christ.

Just what I need to “hear” today…
I’ve been worried about the uncertainty I’ve been feeling, now… Not so much, I will embrace it & BASK in it!

I’m feeling the darkness so much lately. So much digging and emerging I almost am blinded by the responsibility of truth….it’s just pouring out of every pore…and feels so heavy. On the verge of something true, something genuine, something tangible, something that finally feels good. Certainty in the unknown…I don’t know.
