Creating Certainty In An Uncertain Situation...
Have you ever had a situation when you felt uncertain about how it was going to go?
Maybe you are in a situation similar to this right now.
Whenever there is a circumstance in our lives that we think is causing us to feel uncertain, it is possible to bring a sense of certainty to the situation, even if you are currently feeling uncertain about it.
Let's bring some certainty to something you’re feeling uncertain about.
Is there something in your life right now that is causing you to feel uncertain? Is there something you feel like you have no control over?
If you’re not sure, try to imagine what your life would be like in a year or two.
Are you able to picture how your life will look, or is there something that you are just unsure about? When you are in a situation like this, you can simply ask yourself what do you know will be true? What will be true about you?
What is true about you is not what is happening externally. Who you are is not determined by anything external. It’s not determined by your career, your financial situation, or what others think about you.
Who you are is determined by every decision you make. How you identify yourself is simply a collection of the thoughts you have about yourself and your life.
When it comes to uncertainty, so often we think a situation is uncertain, but you can always bring a sense of certainty to any situation when you think about what you believe to be true.

Think about what you have control of and what you want to believe about the situation.
These beliefs are what will bring you certainty.
Take, for example, if you believe when you go to the store, they will have everything you need, and you will feel certain that everything will be there when you go shopping.
If you believe that your car will get you to where you are going, you’ll feel certain you’ll get there.
If you believe that the light will come on when you flip the light switch, you’ll feel certain that you’ll be able to see at night.
Each of these beliefs are things you are thinking.
None of them are guaranteed, but as long as you believe they are true, you’ll feel a sense of certainty.
It’s when you start to doubt your beliefs or think negatively that you get a feeling of uncertainty.
