To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable,
but to be certain is to
be ridiculous.
-Chinese Proverb
I like this.
It reminds me of how far I have come on this journey of life.
I am no longer certain of everything....
in fact, I am certain of only a few things.
Which actually
makes things easier....
It has taken me a very long time
to realize that I usually do not
have all the information.
Imagine that!
Now most of you
are probably thinking....
"Well....that's pretty obvious!"
But...
to me
it wasn't...
I was pretty sure
that I knew how everyone should act,
what their job was...
and how they fit in to the
grand scheme of things.....
But....
I now know that
it isn't my responsibility,
job, mission, or goal
to know these things....
In fact I don't even know
what my purpose is most of the time.
But if I trust,
have faith,
show up,
encourage,
praise,
smile....
well, I
believe
that is
just about enough.
I used to be like you. EVERYONE needed to do what I thought they should. A few years ago I realized how ridiculous that thinking was...
