Embracing Uncertainty

Uncertainty is the only certainty in life - we may try to eliminate, minimise or disregard uncertainty but it prevails; resistance is futile in this case.

My alternate proposition: embrace uncertainty.

As an ally, uncertainty helps to rein in our tendency to take things for granted, e.g.:

• if we know we could die or get cancer any moment, we would make better use of our time
• if we know we could lose our loved ones to unexpected illnesses or accidents, we would treasure and love them more
• if we know we might be replaced in our job by younger and smarter people, we would work hard and continually upgrade ourselves
