“Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don't let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.”

Uncertainties….oh well… ain’t life full of it? Would life be much easier if we knew what was coming our way? But then where will all the excitement be if we knew all the time what’s up next. It would be dull and mundane being already aware of when you wake up every morning what the coming day has in store for you.

I guess that’s why people say – Life surprises us all the time!

Well we do have control of the events in our daily life to the extent of our work schedules, attending meetings, classes, taking kids to school blah blah….but what happens when bigger decisions have to be made. Say I wanna switch jobs, relocate, go for higher studies or find a job, marry and settle down and the list continues?

As far as I have lived my life, there is one thing I have learned – no matter how much you plan out your life, things quite the contrary happen almost all the time. Then you begin to wonder, did I ever want this? Nevertheless it has happened so let’s deal with it. And so you go on with each day…until one fine day you sit down with yourself and reminisce - did it all happen for a good reason? May be or may be not! On what basis do I decide, there will be many variables and conditions…

R. I. Fitzhenry has aptly summarized that the very essence of an eventful life is its property to be filled with many uncertainties.

“Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life. Don't let them scare you unduly, for they keep boredom at bay and spark creativity.”

On this note I might add that may be at the end of the day, we could probably take a pick for ourselves to see the glass as half full or half empty.
