Uncertainty

Are you wandering through life in a state of uncertainty? Are you hesitant about which way to go, what to do... how to move forward with your life? Are you stalled? The dictionary defines "uncertainty" as:

"Being unsettled or in doubt or dependent on chance" and "The state of being unsure of something".

Be assured that uncertainty is not the natural state of being for anyone seeking to excel and fly with the eagles. 

So what if you are unsure of what appropriate decision to make, and fearful of the outcome of your choice. Do a little research on what the results of your options might be, and just pick one to pursue - even if you must flip a coin. Hey... if the result chosen does not please you, say oops and start over. 

Thomas Edison was extraordinary. It is said he made about 7,000 incorrect decisions before inventing a successful light bulb. Right or wrong... he made a decision. We all should be extraordinary like him. Your body won't live forever, so don't beat yourself up over anything.

Some interesting quotes about uncertainty:

Yogi Berra, one of baseball's greatest catchers, said... "When you get to the fork in the road, take it." This is a Yogism.

He never tells which one to take... just take it. If it's the wrong one leading to a dead end... go back to start and try the other one.

“I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.”  ~ Richard P. Feynman, Physicist ~

“Nobody knows how things will turn out, that's why they go ahead and play the game...You give it your all and sometimes amazing things happen, but it's hardly ever what you expect.”  ~ Gennifer Choldenko, Al Capone Does My Shirts ~

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”  ~ Gilda Radner ~
