The need for certainty.
It exists and can be seen in much of what you do.
The places you travel. New or old?
The people you engage. New or old?
The books you read. New or old?
The content you consume. New or old?
The thoughts you have. New or old?
Certainty can create safety.
That is real.
The truth we build certainty from dictates our quality of life.
Where have you built certainty?
What if that certainty doesn't serve you?
What if there is an opportunity to redefine what you deem certain?
After all, the certainty you have learned how to create gives you everything you have.
And to get to where you are going, perhaps you must change your certainty.
From what I have found, all of what we want exists because it does not know how to come out.
All of what we want exists because we don't know how to give it to ourselves.
What if it can be hacked?
I had a call with the CEO of two companies yesterday.
His certainty included feeling accomplished before he rewarded himself.
Slowing down, and writing more, is the reward for executing on an elaborate strategy with his two companies – a strategy that may very well take him a lifetime.
This is what is true for him.
It is neither right or wrong, simply what's true.
On the same call, he wanted to know how he can move faster.
He was not willing to start slowing down, now.
Or to write more, now.
"That's my reward." He said.
To do more of that now would be "cheating," he said.
And this is what is true for him.
This is his certainty.
Certainty in thought and in sight.
Not right or wrong, good or bad, I hold no judgment.
But I wonder.
I wonder what might happen if he changed what he knew to be certain.
I wonder what opportunities exist for you to change what you have made certain.
