There's really no such thing as certainty.
Despite our best efforts to create the future, life is pretty uncertain.
When you really look at it uncertainty is absolutely beautiful. When you live in a world brim-full of uncertainty, you give yourself the chance to live in possibility and be truly happy. Those two things come together only when you let go of the past and future and come back to this moment. When you begin to try to separate yourself from uncertainty by trying to paint what your future is going to look like, that is when you can begin to get into a pinch of difficulty.
As exciting as the future can be, you become out of touch with reality and distance yourself from individuals and opportunities that are here right now. There's nothing worse than living in some place that you can't actually go to, and therefore, missing all that is happening in the moment.
That was my old story
I refused to live in the present moment.
Not that it was a bad thing all of the time, but it was out of alignment with the deep underlying need and desire for a real connection with others. I knew that I really needed that connection, so I had to start to make some changes. I suspect the balance of where goals and dreams lie with a person who has great ambitions is they must really appreciate what they have now, be the person that they envision in the future at the current moment, and learn that the future is only going to be a representation of deep purpose of what is going on in their life right now.
My problem was that I looked at the future as a location where it might all turn out and everything would be alright. Wrong. You need to be okay with what is going on today. When you can really live in the moment and let the uncertainty of the future handle itself, happiness creeps in.
Take some time to really connect with what's going on and give yourself the best opportunity to live.
Uncertainty is the name of the game.
