That is so relevant for me at the moment. Major work changes for the third time in 8 months, and trying to find a way thorugh it all that is positive, and does not lead to a state of self despair You may succeed wildly or you may still fail, but at least you’re no longer sitting there spinning yourself into a cage of “might-driven” fear, anxiety and doubt.

Uncertainty. It stops so many people from a new beginning. From living our dreams. From forgiving family or friends. Things get so scary. It's easy to do the same exact thing, even if it isn't working for us. And yet, the uneasiness is the simple fact that there is uncertainty in that. We have one chance. Live it. Would love to read this book! And yes it is still the 18th here in Hawaii :) Aloha Wags! Wow. Uncertainty. It stops so many people from a new beginning. From living our dreams.

Love unconditionally. Be kind. Risk circumstance, not people." Life is a gift. We mustn't waste our time, and especially not worrying about uncertainty. I know we must go with the flow, and sometimes we will move through what seems like darkness into a new light. We need to make things happen. Use our opportunities. Know what we stand for. Walk our paths. Jesus said something like: "Don't worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own". I'd love a copy of this book to learn how to utilise my own uncertainty, learn how to see my own path, and walk away victorious, making a difference in some way. I love Jonathan’s message: “Be real.

Own that..." This was the key for me. Seems like accountability and taking responsbility is a theme now on several blogs, including mine. I thought this was an interesting take on uncertainty. The advice to act in the face of uncertainty rather than be paralyzed by fear is one perspective, and a good one. I think others, myself included, are often so uncomfortable with uncertainty that doing most anything seems better than the discomfort of not knowing. So I sometimes act precipitously when wisdom would caution patience. This really got me to thinking. And that's always a good thing--thanks! “You are you. Own that…” This was the key for me.

WOW, such affirmation from another writer, after only 8 weeks into my return to writing every day after decades of self-effacement and faking "fitting in". Bushel baskets full of appreciation for this post today. So very much needed! “Once you’ve actually done it and you’re in the future, you cannot feel the fear and anxiety anymore because there’s nothing left to anticipate.” WOW, such affirmation from another writer, after only 8 weeks into my return to writing every day after decades of self-effacement and faking “fitting in”.

I'm looking forward to getting the book! Uncertainty can certainly be a scary and volatile place, but it can also be a place where we grow as human beings. I have heard a lot of emphasis lately about acting based on our gut rather than overanalyzing. I think there's a lot that we're learning about ourselves as a society. And so much more to go.
