UNCERTAINTY

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Awareness of uncertainty and impermanence is essential for living a whole-hearted life. When we integrate and sync with life’s river of yang-yin we accept that change is inevitable and nothing is permanent.

  • Uncertainty pushes us to grow, take risks, and appreciate fleeting joys. By understanding impermanence, we cultivate inner peace, knowing that difficulties will pass and new opportunities will always arise. Life’s beauty lies in its unpredictability.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.” — Erich Fromm

  • “Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.” — John Allen Paulos

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

  • How much of your suffering flows from your attachment to certainty and illusion of permanence?

Namaste,

Duane Nelson
