\"\"<\/a>In the past few weeks I have begun to have a conversation with myself about\u00a0how uncertainty has shaped my life.\u00a0 How\u00a0important it has been to\u00a0how I have\u00a0grown and changed as I found myself standing on new ground.<\/p>\n

Each day we wake up with anticipation of what may come of our day.\u00a0 We make plans, create lists and formalize our lives around tasks management while creating opportunities to enjoy time.<\/p>\n

As much as we may try to take care in how we plan and then execute our day, inevitably the uncertainty of life takes it’s course.<\/p>\n

This uncertainty continuously plays itself out in our lives in little and big ways.\u00a0 This becomes particularly apparent when we are faced with an illness.\u00a0 That which we were unprepared for comes to our door and we wonder how it got there and why.\u00a0 We ask ourselves\u00a0what we may have done wrong along the way\u00a0 in life that may have lead us to now be dealing with our health in more detail than we had hoped for.<\/p>\n

Our everyday lives prepare us for these moments whether we recognize them or not.\u00a0 Becoming comfortable with uncertainty in life is part of what creates a peaceful mind.<\/p>\n

We can not control our lives, we can only live\u00a0it.\u00a0 By\u00a0living\u00a0our life with an conscious awareness of\u00a0uncertainty we prepare our minds\u00a0and bodies for change.\u00a0 We become less fearful and more accepting of what happens to us.<\/p>\n

Uncertainty is purposeful, it creates moments of joy as much as it does those of fear and pain.\u00a0 It opens our lives to opportunities to create our lives and learn from our experiences. So when uncertainty finds you angry and resentful about the change it may bring, fearful not know what may be around the corner; take a moment to recognize\u00a0the full role it plays in your life and make peace with\u00a0it and yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
