Learning to Live With Uncertainty

I don’t think I deal with uncertainty by having all the answers. I deal with it by accepting that I probably never will.

There are things I can plan, things I can prepare for, and things I simply have to let happen. The difficult part is knowing the difference.

I used to think that worrying about something would somehow prepare me for it. Now I realize that worrying about tomorrow only steals a little bit of today.

So when I don’t know what is going to happen, I try to focus on what is actually in front of me. Do what I can, make the best decision I can, and then let the rest unfold.

Maybe that’s what growing up is—realizing that uncertainty isn’t always something to solve.

Sometimes, you just have to keep walking without knowing exactly where the road ends.
