Successful people seem to have this handled

-

We struggle a lot as a species with not knowing stuff.

It makes us feel uncomfortable - a little queasy even.

Most of all - and this can be a huge shame for many - it stops us from venturing into the world to live, succeed, explore and discover.

We must know the blueprint, or we stall.

We must know the plan, or we come up with excuses.

My clients often get tremendously flustered when they don’t have clarity on what they’ll do next.

They close up and introvert without the clarity.

And I did - and often still do - seriously struggle with not knowing. It can make me go round in circles, and with no progress.

The reality is that fully knowing is an illusion.

Like a mirage on a horizon, it’s always out of reach.

You will never fully know what you’ll be doing and how things will go.

Successful people set themselves apart by doing this:

They act despite feeling uncertain.

Uncertainty is just a feeling anyway.

It’s the feeling of this thought:

‘I feel I should know more before I commit.’

No. No, you don’t.

It’s why you’re still there, and they are 100 metres out ahead.

Let’s dig a little deeper:

What if that feeling of ‘not knowing’ - yeah the one we ALL feel ALL the damn time...

What if that feeling was a reason TO act?

Not to escape.

Not to overanalyse.

Not to hide.

But to lean in and do something BECAUSE you feel uncertain.

What if that feeling was a sign you were doing what mattered?

Because why would you feel doubt if it didn’t matter?

Act despite ‘not knowing it all.’

This will transform your life.

You’ll have more optimism and more of that warm feeling that things will just work out.
