Accept uncertainty as a normal part of life from "summary" of The Confidence Gap by Russ Harris
Life is filled with uncertainty. No matter how much we plan and prepare, there will always be factors beyond our control. In fact, the only constant in life is change, and with change comes uncertainty. This uncertainty can be unsettling and anxiety-provoking, leading us to seek control and certainty where there is none to be found. When we resist uncertainty and try to avoid it at all costs, we end up limiting ourselves and missing out on opportunities for growth and learning. By accepting uncertainty as a normal part of life, we can free ourselves from the need to control everything and instead focus on what we can control - our own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Accepting uncertainty does not mean resigning ourselves to a life of chaos and unpredictability. It simply means acknowledging that we cannot control everything and being okay with that. It means learning to sit with discomfort and not let it dictate our choices and behaviors. When we accept uncertainty, we become more resilient and adaptable. We are better able to cope with the ups and downs of life and bounce back from setbacks. We are more open to new experiences and opportunities, knowing that we can handle whatever comes our way. So, the next time you find yourself struggling with uncertainty, remember that it is a normal part of life. Embrace it, learn from it, and let it guide you towards growth and self-discovery. The more you can accept uncertainty, the more confident and empowered you will become in navigating the twists and turns of life's journey.
