Uncertainty asks us to be persistent in our struggles, resolute in our setbacks, and determined in staying committed until we achieve our desired results. Uncertainty calls on our character. It tests it. It responds to it. It builds it. And ultimately, it will reward it.
The thing is, we’ll never know what would or could happen if we don’t abandon our fears and try.
The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.
Erich Fromm
Now, go on, and try something new each and every day. You just may surprise yourself what you’re capable of. ❤

You’re so right, Teri! Without uncertainty life might become stagnant, mundane and unbelievably boring….and we might lose our ability/need to reinvent and adapt ourselves.

And while it IS sad, there are times that zap our optimism, BUT like you, it’s how we push through those times.
I’m so happy you pushed through the down time, knowing you CAN create better days. They’ll come when you seek them. ❤️❤️🤗🤗
Way to go😍
