Humans innately have this incessant need to have everything under control, maybe that is how we are wired, maybe that is why uncertainty bothers us. It feeds on us and eats a little bit if us, everyday.
As much as we hate to accept it, we cannot have everything in control, maybe it is meant to be that way, maybe it should be. Trust me, it is better if you leave some things be, let time or fate or whatever it is that you believe in, do it’s magic.
If you’re looking for reasons to believe what I just said above, here are a few-
Because you’re young - whether you’re 18 or 40, you are still young, everyday, you get a little closer to knowing yourself. So don’t worry if you are neck deep in uncertainty about life, love or career, because I’ll let you in on a secret- Nobody has it figured it out either, and if you feel anyone does, remember from the outside everything is flawless, but if you closely, there are cracks, and that’s okay, that is what makes us human.
Because you’re you and not the other people you compare yourself to- If you dig deep and think, most of our uncertainties arise when we see others doing well. It is very important to remember- that everyone has a different path, a different perspective towards life. Let it fuel your motivation but be careful to not make you stress. Only you can impact the outcome of your life, not others.
Because life doesn't go according to a set plan, and that's good- If you’ve ever noticed, we sometimes don’t get what we want, we get what we need exactly at that time. Nobody has a blue map to succeed in life and moreover success is subjective. Just remember life is a bunch of trails and errors at finding happiness, so keep trying and if you find something that makes you happy, do everything in your power to keep it in your life, nourish it and most importantly appreciate it’s presence and importance in your life.
Because living in the now means that you’re actually living- If you spend your entire life to calculate the next steps, when will you actually live? Take everything in right now, where you are, appreciate the happiness, or hustle, pat yourself on the back and move forward but don’t forget to enjoy every moment while you’re at it
Because figuring out your own shit is subjective- Whether it is picking between two pretty dresses or a choice in your career, it IS BIG but also remember that your shit is different and solving it will also require you to find your own approach, so turn a blind eye to what everyone is doing and do what humans tend to do the least- Listen, to what your heart says, what your mind says, most of the times, Because figuring out your own shit is subjective- Whether it is picking between two pretty dresses or a choice in your career, it IS BIG but also remember that your shit is different and solving it will also require you to find your own approach, so turn a blind eye to what everyone is doing and do what humans tend to do the least- Listen, to what your heart says, what your mind says, most of the times,
I’ve really put forth all the things I wish someone had said to me whenever I felt or feel uncertain, let this be a reminder. Remember this is a journey, you’ll get better, everyday. Don’t lose hope.
Because without hope, we have nothing.
