We can take nothing for granted, what seems certain can be removed from us in a blink of an eye. So much of our pain comes from the attempt to control, to be sure of what comes next, leading to overthinking and distress, to a life lived in mind. One of fear, one of not trusting.

We can take nothing for granted.

What seems certain can be removed from us in a blink of an eye.

So much of our pain comes from the attempt to control,

To be sure of what comes next,

The outcome.

Leading to overthinking and distress,

To a life lived in mind,

One of fear,

One of not trusting.

Eventually all that we hold dear to our hearts will transform into dust and fade away.

Life is a gift,

An opportunity to embrace uncertainty,

To make every moment everlasting,

To be present when it happens,

To kiss with our entire being,

To run as if a tiger were chasing us,

To love fiercely,

To create as if there were no tomorrow,

To live each day as if it were our last.

Uncertainty can be a gift if we learn how to see what it is trying to teach us every moment of our lives.
