As individuals, we have some uncertainty, regardless of the success we have had. This is not unique to individuals who are still seeking their first triumph or to those who have attained untold success and now have new, higher expectations to meet. We know there are no certainties.
Fear is when we begin to imagine what it would feel like to not be successful. We fear failure before we begin. And yet, that fear is what holds us back. It is simpler to not start, since then we do not have a possibility of failure.
Uncertainty drives us to seek clarity and address the issues we project. Fear merely holds us back.
If we can accept that the possibility of failure is there, we can begin more easily.
Embracing uncertainty and fear helps us overcome adversity since we cannot be a success every day, but when assuming this practice with regularity, we will in practice attain success more often in our day-to-day life.
We know every day will not be our best day: the painting, not a masterpiece; the song, not the hit. But, unless we run with this small idea, we will never know what more extraordinary creations we can make.
