I Accept Uncertainty

Uncertainty does not sway me from my plan of action.

Uncertainty is a necessary part of growing and developing into the person I was intended to be. While it may feel comforting to have certainty in my environment, direction, and work, it also means that I am no longer pushing myself beyond my comfort zone.

Because I want to be the best person I can possibly be, I accept uncertainty as an inevitable byproduct of risk and growth.

Uncertainty does not sway me from my plans because I have used my intelligence and the counsel of wise mentors to decide which avenue is right for me. Because I avoid impulse and make decisions wisely, I am confident that uncertainty is simply a part of the journey that I need to overcome in order to discover all that is before me.

I ignore thoughts that tell me that uncertainty is a sign of imminent failure. On the contrary, I view uncertainty as a sign of positive change that leads me to a more fulfilling life.

I may make mistakes, but I remain open to the lessons I can learn from them, knowing that I will thrive only by remaining open to uncertainty.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    Do I look at uncertainty as friend or foe?
2.    How might I be a better person by accepting uncertainty?
3.    How do I deal with thoughts of uncertainty?

I am in Control

Situations do not control me.

I am actively engaged in the course of my life because I know that situations do not control me. Sometimes circumstances do occur unexpectedly and often in ways other than what I might have wished. However, how I respond to those circumstances is up to me.

I look at the situations in my life objectively. I have outgrown the need to respond impulsively to stressful situations. Instead, I allow myself to take a step back and analyze circumstances to decide on the best course of action.

While I am an adult and I make my own decisions, I am open to the insights of others. I keep myself connected to others because I am fully aware that I will always have much to learn about life. I embrace the input of those who can teach and guide me into making healthy choices.

No one, however, makes my decisions for me. I am where I am because I choose to be here. If I stay here, it is my choice and I do so with an open mind and heart, yet I remain eager and ready to soak in everything I can from my current place in history.

If I decide that this situation is unhealthy or unsuitable for me, I move on. I let go of the need to blame my unhappiness on my circumstances or on others. Blame has never solved my problems. I am free to change my circumstances if, after mature reflection, I decide that doing so would be my best course of action.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    Am I accepting responsibility for my own happiness?
2.    Are there situations in which I have allowed myself to be a victim rather than taking charge of my own destiny?
3.    Is there a situation in my life that needs to be altered? What is the first step I need to take to do so?
