We are always becoming, making inferences about our future.
Often times, such guesses lead to mistakes. But error is the only way we can untangle the morass of uncertainty.
Effort frees the mind from the nagging question of “what if?”
“Imagine living your life without being afraid to take a risk and to explore life. You are not afraid to lose anything.”
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
In doing a voluntary act, we take responsibility for all that comes next, plus all the tension that comes with pushing forward.
The floodgates to life open when we pay attention on purpose. And then we self-assess as an antidote to so-called problems.
Without all the scars that come with risk, we’d crumble rapidly.
