Some of us are excellent planners, they plan what to do today, tomorrow, next week, next month and some to up till many years. It is a good thing, everything chalked out, the blueprint prepared, the road decided.
One small but important thing we miss out is cater for the uncertainty of things and life. Some may call it a plan B. It takes only seconds to lay bare the best laid plans.
We don’t like uncertainty because it has insecurity on its tail. When there is a variable factor there will be uncertainty and followed by insecurity. But is this uncertainty and insecurity really bad?
An intelligent man is always ready for the uncertainty. When he is ready for it, it means he is expecting it and when he is expecting it, it means he has a plan for it also. Life is not a scientific formula where on inputting the data we will get a result. Life doesn’t have the certainty of boiling water to 100 degrees and form water vapour. There are too many ifs and buts in life.
This uncertainty gives us the freedom to choose the path to take in uncertain times. This freedom is completely at ones disposal to use it. If life would have been a stepping stone from one certainty to the next then what is the requirement of freedom of thought and action. Life would have been boring and monotonous as everything had a certainty.
If you go to your church or temple or mosque or even a motivational speaker and if they are promising you certainty, then you are at the wrong place. Rather it should take away your certainty and instead give you the awareness and understanding of dealing with uncertainty. The more uncertain and insecure you will be, the more alert you will be, the more adaptable you will be, the more understanding you will be, the more ready you will be.
You will be ready to take on the surprises that life keeps on springing in front of us from time to time. And when you are ready then you are in a better position to use your freedom to decide your course of action. If we are not ready for the uncertainty then it can tear us apart both physically and mentally. Next we will start the blame game of life being unfair to us.
The list of uncertainty is too long in our life, starting from the big ones about our time of death, to the smaller ones like what will happen in round the next corner of road. But your acceptance preparedness is like the shock absorbers of your car which take you smoothly over bumpy roads.
Keep your life as a blank canvas with your colour palette and paint brush ready every day. Let life make its own painting as well as you make your own, but keep space for both and complement each other. Then the journey of life will be a fuller and enriching experience.
