This time, we are embracing the uncertainty, resisting the urge to panic. We’re unlearning the conditioned responses that have bound us for ages.” ~Sukhvinder Sircar
As dawn breaks, I’m engulfed in a sea of uncertainty, questioning the trajectory of my life. Are my choices aligned with my desires? Should I dwell in the bustling streets of London, far from kin? Am I right in reshaping my business, and embarking on a two-month sojourn next year? Such days of doubt have frequented me lately, and although I might attribute them to external factors, a realization dawns—I’m ensnared in my own thoughts.
This revelation arrived through life’s perceived trials. Three years back, trauma struck, leaving me bereft and adrift. The occasion? My wedding. An event that should have brimmed with joy morphed into a nightmare. Family bonds severed, relationships questioned, and friendships shattered. The experience left me shattered, a state in which I embarked on a solitary journey, searching for both myself and escape from the overwhelming uncertainty.
In the present, I comprehend otherwise. Amidst doubt’s fog, I’ve unearthed a deeper truth. The feeling of uncertainty isn’t woven by external circumstances; it’s birthed within me.
As our thoughts weave the tapestry of experience, external events are but threads. They cannot grip us unless we allow them to. We wield the power to choose how our circumstances touch us. Yet, it’s natural to occasionally be ensnared by external happenings and their emotional ripples. The secret lies not in evading this human reality, but in embracing it until the storm subsides.
Amidst my own quest, I stumbled upon transformative insights—the “Transformational Truth principles.” These truths illuminate that our reality takes shape through thought. Thus, my current doubts arise from within.
For instance, my uncertainty about my residence, business, and travel stems solely from my thoughts. Remove the lens of unease, and I’d greet these situations with enthusiasm and positivity. It’s evident—external occurrences hold sway only if our beliefs about them trouble us. This truth resonates across all aspects of life; criticism only bruises us if we lend it credence.
Yet, herein lies the paradox. We weave our narratives so tightly that we overlook thoughts for what they are—transitory. Thoughts aren’t absolute facts; their form fluctuates. Such recognition prompts the question: what is real then? The truth exists beyond thought, within our innate wisdom—a clarity accessible if we simply grant it room.
Gazing beyond thoughts, we begin to fathom the essence of existence. Our minds often race, devising strategies to quell anxiety. For me, this inclination surfaces during bouts of uncertainty. I strategize, control, dissect—seeking to mend my perceived lack of certainty in relationships, location, and business.
However, I’ve learned that forcing certainty or hunting the “why” is futile. Sometimes, answers remain elusive. In truth, certainty is a mirage. Life evolves, evading any preconceived safety nets we concoct. Yet, amidst this uncertainty, an empowering truth emerges—we’re part of a cosmic plan, forever guided by an enigmatic intelligence. This realization ushers wholeness, erasing the need to fix a nonexistent flaw.
The quest for answers is futile; life’s essence isn’t encapsulated in solutions. Acceptance of the present moment’s transient, thought-woven experience suffices. Flow with life’s rhythm, for beneath external turmoil, a creative force swirls, waiting to be acknowledged.
As morning’s uncertainty envelops me, I unfurl my yoga mat and journal. Stretching and moving, I embrace my feelings, knowing they’re fleeting. These emotions aren’t intrinsic; they’re born from thoughts seeking validation for beliefs far from truth. I release, I let go. Acceptance replaces panic, and within this space, the creative force of life unfurls its wings.
Flowing harmoniously, life unfolds magnificently, far surpassing my imagined constraints. By aligning with life’s natural rhythm, I allow its creative energy to weave a beautiful tapestry. External circumstances find their place, inner wisdom surfaces, and the ebb and flow of life take on a harmonious dance—a dance where uncertainty is embraced, and panic is no more.
