Some of the most damaging lessons happen early in life.

Think how early in your life you were made to feel that you needed to have all the answers.

It's likely you were constantly asked about your "future" & were almost always expected to have an answer.

If you didn't, you probably felt worried & anxious that you should.

You were probably left with the sense that everyone else must know, but you.

You probably thought, "why is it so easy for everyone else"?

We're conditioned early to think that we need to have the answer.

That we need to know how our future looks...

What our "plan" is
What we want to "do" with our life

We're constantly robbed of being fully here & now; & enjoying the life that we actually have.

We’re so afraid of this expectation that we often end up doing anything to show that we do "know".

People will do anything that allows them to answer the questions with conviction.

Studying anything.
Training in something.
Working somewhere.

But the truth is, no one has a clue, & that's how it's meant to be.

Your not supposed to know how your life will look, what you want to do 20 years from now, or how you should spend all your time.

How would you really have any idea?

Who you are today is not who you will be tomorrow, if you are truly living life today.

If you allow things to unfold naturally, to feel uncomfortable without knowing how things are going to turn out,

if you allow things to just be, that's when you feel most alive.

It's the uncertainty that makes life worth living.

It’s about having the ability to say "I don't know what's going to happen, but I know it's going to be okay".

If there is one thing I have learned, it's that plans change because everything changes.

When we fixate on how it should be or what we had planned, we set ourselves up for so much suffering.

😮 If it starts happening differently, we struggle
😮 If we feel differently, we keep forcing it.
😮 If it's time to let it go, we don't.

We feel more peaceful and confident when we just accept the reality.

No one has a clue & that’s how it should be.
