Do you ever feel like you NEED to know what’s going to happen next in your life – with your job, business, relationship, health – so that you can feel secure and at peace right now?

Well recently I was doing some inquiry into why I was feeling so attached to a certain situation working out in a particular way. I realized it was so I could have a feeling of safety and security, right now. 

Then I had this “aha” moment.  

What if I could be comfortable with not knowing? Not knowing what was going to happen next. Not knowing what this person was thinking. Not knowing whether this was going to work out in a “good” or “bad” way.

Then a rush of peace came over me. 

Now when I catch myself attached to needing to know how something is going to work out, or being overly careful with thinking positive about something, I let go and affirm, “I am comfortable with not knowing.”

Sometimes we can get so addicted to figuring out our next step, worried about what might happen, or what might not. 

When we can just sit with the uncertainty and be OK with not knowing – not knowing how this situation is going to unfold – we open to an experience of deep peace. A profound satisfaction with not knowing and feeling it’s completely OK, and wonderful, to “not know.”

If someone asks you today about how something is going in your life, what your plans are for the future, be OK with saying, “I don’t know.” There is such power in saying that and releasing the obligation to know. 

That’s freedom.

One love,

Julie

  • Great article, thank you very much Julie. What ever is going to happen, is going to happen anyway, whether we “worry” about it or not. And often while worrying about an unwanted outcome we are focusing on the opposite of what we do want, and that in itself can be a point of attraction.

    • You’re welcome, Kenneth! Thank you for your comment. Very true. All the best to you. (sorry for the delay in my response – I didn’t receive any notification about your comment, but came across it just now. All in perfect timing. 🙂 )
