Let go of need for certainty from "summary" of Wisdom Of Insecurity by Alan W Watts
The idea of certainty is one that most of us hold dear. We want to know that things will turn out a certain way, that our plans will come to fruition, that our beliefs are justified. But the truth is, certainty is an illusion. The future is always uncertain, and we can never truly know what will happen next. By clinging to the need for certainty, we create unnecessary anxiety and stress for ourselves. We constantly seek reassurance and validation, trying to find stability in a world that is inherently unstable. This need for certainty makes us rigid and inflexible, unable to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances of life. If we can learn to let go of our need for certainty, we can find a sense of liberation and freedom. We can embrace the uncertainty of life, knowing that we are resilient enough to handle whatever comes our way. Instead of seeking guarantees, we can learn to trust in our own abilities and intuition, confident in our ability to navigate the unknown. Letting go of the need for certainty does not mean giving up on our goals or ambitions. It simply means being open to the idea that things may not always go according to plan. It means being willing to take risks, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to embrace the unknown with an open heart and mind. In the end, embracing uncertainty can lead to a deeper sense of peace and fulfillment. When we let go of our need for certainty, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities that we may have never considered before. We become more flexible, more adaptable, and more resilient in the face of life's challenges. So let go of the need for certainty, and embrace the beauty of the unknown.
