Do you realize that this is something you do everyday! Yes we all have a plan, an idea of how things are going to look. This is what keeps us feeling safe. However the reality is within this container, this plan, this structure; no outcome is guaranteed. And we navigate BEAUTIFULLY, this unknown space, within the container that we create for ourselves, moment after moment! We are masters of this and it is part of our evolution.

So I'm going to jump in.

So navigating the unknown,

What I'm hearing more and more from everybody,

Fear is the biggest thing,

Right?

It's the biggest thing.

Fear for our health,

Fear for our survival,

The panic buying.

Survival comes in so many places.

It's the health.

It's the nourishment.

Where am I going to get my food?

How am I going to pay my bills?

How's my business going to survive?

What am I going to do with my kids?

They're driving me mad.

Well,

How am I going to survive with my partner now at home with me 24 hours a day?

What do I do about my community?

What I do about my shop,

My club,

My et cetera,

Et cetera,

Et cetera?

How do I adjust?

How do I change my rhythm and dance to fit within this new paradigm of living?

And so there is an innate fear there underlying,

Whether it's conscious or unconscious,

Whether it's passive or active,

There is a level of fear there.

And even as an individual,

I mean,

I will very openly declare,

I have right now no fear.

I've had very no fear around this thing at all.

This feeling of uncertainty is something that I live with all the time.

And maybe for some of you out there,

Some of you out there who travel a lot or have a different way of living,

This might resonate with you.

So I make plans,

But I don't necessarily always stick to them,

And uncertainty is something that I dance with all the time.

And it's actually somewhere very exciting.

So I wanted to share this with everyone,

Because many people feel insecure,

Right?

Or the unknown.

We feel insecure because we don't know what's coming.

And how do we cope with that?

But I just wanted to remind you that the reality is we are amazingly intelligent beings.

I'm going out of the head here.

I'm not talking about being smart and being intellectual.

I'm talking about natural intelligence.

And we know,

We have innate knowing of how to live and navigate uncertainty,

Because the reality,

The truth is we live with uncertainty every day.

Every single day,

We have a perception and a belief every morning when you wake up,

Hmm,

This is what my day looks like.

I get up,

I meditate,

Or I pray,

Or I rush into the shower,

Or I slam my alarm,

And I'm rushing for my coffee.

And then I go to work,

Or I pack the kids to school.

Whatever it is,

Every day you have an idea or a belief of an idea that you have a plan and a schedule for the day,

And that is your structure.

That's what holds you in the known.

That is your security.

That is your grounding.

That is your certainty,

Or at least your perception of certainty,

Because you and I both know no moment in life is ever the same.

So even though I wake up every day and I think I know what I'm doing and I know what to expect,

And that's my certainty,

The reality is every single day we live is different and is actually uncertain.

That is the reality.

I want to let that land for you now,

Right?

Name me any two days are exactly the same.

They are not.

They are really uncertain.

You have an idea of a certain outcome of your day,

But things are always changing.

And guess what?

You deal with it.

You manage that uncertainty minute after minute after minute after minute.

So for those of you who are feeling uncertain,

Who now,

Or maybe not now,

But in any moment coming in the future,

When you feel yourself falling into that fear,

Which is totally natural,

Because that is our belief system,

God,

I don't know what's coming,

I invite you to remember this.

This is something we do incredibly well.

We navigate uncertainty every single day and every moment.

Right now,

You and I,

We don't know what's coming next.

I don't know what I'm going to say.

I don't know who's going to drop out.

I have no idea.

So we're experiencing right now a new framing of thriving in uncertainty.

Oh,

I'm like shaking.

I'm so excited.
