Embracing Uncertainty Will Help You to Create The Best Outcomes
One of the best things that we can do we can do for our future outcomes is to let go of our past, letting go of that controlling aspect of our lives is one of the best ways to live in the present. We can all make plans regarding how our ideas and plans will unfold, as we all know, nothing in life goes exactly according to plan.
We will always be presented with change it is the nature of life and business. If we accept that fact and by trying to become flexible we are well placed to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves, the opportunities will be many.
It is as though we have to commit to it and take an active role in creating our future life. All that starts with making decisions. If we take a back seat and wait for change to come it may not happen or if it does it will be out of our control,
Right or wrong sometimes the biggest outcomes come from the smallest decisions. Timing can be everything.
We are not going to be right 100% of the time, in fact in terms of my experience I am wrong more times than I care to let on and some of the hasty decisions have some less than favorable outcomes. So for a rule of thumb accepting that you will wrong say 25% of the time gives a sense of freedom to make decisions, the key is to make that decision and then follow it up by taking some action and implementing it.
There is always uncertainty in everything that we do, it is better to ask for the future than trying to wish for the future.
Business and life are a process of engagement and retreat, where make those decisions, execute them and then step back to see how they are evolving or to recharge before charging on.
We all need to give ourselves credit for our decisions and designs we are all the architects of our own lives and lifestyles. So if things are not panning out and the desired outcomes are not eventuating then discard them or make some changes.
Will there be change? yes, that is one of the ultimate constants.
Do we embrace the uncertainty around change, it is always in our lives and continually knocking on our doorsteps and nipping at our heals?
I would say yes, having said that it is different for everyone. Where do you sit?
By becoming accepting and Flexible we are well placed to jump off the hamster wheel that we are all invariably on, it is called modern life.
Something to ponder.

My experience Alexander is that there will always be uncertainty. Nothing is set in concrete. Therefore we must be open to change, and flexible in our thinking.
Thank you for your post. A very good read!
Hi, Valerie good to see you, reading from the same page so true nothing is set in concrete always good to be flexible in our approach, thank you for sharing your insights.
You give us a lot to nibble on, Alex. I think one of the areas that I need to work on the most is letting go of the past; I know that I can't hold on to the past and expect to move forward.
One book that has helped me tremendously is Max Lucado's "Traveling Light". I think it's a book that I need to read every few months just as a reminder on the power of letting go.
Hi Veronica, one of the best things we can do is simply shift our focus, we can not control the past so by focusing on what is happening now we can start to make really positive changes. We all travel along with those remnants that will just plain out not let go I think that is where the acceptance first kicks in,
" hi I am a human and I have making, mistakes, on a daily basis disease "
When we get in touch with ourselves on that level we can begin to accept and in doing so start to develop flexibility so we only beat ourselves up twice a week instead of the daily occurrence. this is especially needed in our line of work.The online world can be brutal.If you get caught out on the wrong side of town.
I have not come across That book but with your recommendation, I will search it out.thank you for sharing really appreciate it.
Thanks for always sharing your wisdom, Alex. And yes I would highly recommend that book. He uses a lot of Scriptural references and primarily focuses on Psalm 23. But I think even if somebody was not into the Bible that could still learn some valuable lessons.
It can create a focal point like all things we need to be at the right point at the right time singing the right song, thank you for sharing your wisdom Mike.
