March 22, 2017, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Uncertainly

“Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.” –Voltaire

The human condition hungers for certainty.

Yet, nothing new or creative was ever born from it.

It’s a constant dance, in the middle of “Certainly!” and uncertainly, “Of course!” and off course, where anything out of the ordinary appears.

Whatever changeup from the way life is currently and/or comfortably going, whatever crazy dream or aspiration your spirit just won’t let you forget, whatever outlandish step all the pointers of your world are directing you to take…none of these can start with certainty.

The bigness of the game we want to play will determine how willing we are to reside in the not knowing.

Where can you play bigly, even in the face of off-course-ness and uncertainly?

Got uncertainly?

“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.” –Francis Bacon
