Uncertainty

Uncertainty according to Merriam Webster is the quality or state of being uncertain. Something that is doubtful or unknown. To say that something is uncertain there must be doubt, reservation, skepticism, and riskiness.

I guess you'll agree with me that as much as we want to be sure of things, uncertainties of life are inevitable. It is and will always be present in life. To be honest, I don't like uncertainties. Really. Maybe because it makes me uncomfortable and it pushes me to risk at some point. Risks that most of us wants to avoid.  I haven't met a person who is ecstatic to face uncertainties in life or who will take risk in a heart beat. Sure, some people are risk takers than others. But if we all have a choice, we'll definitely go for something that has certainty, guaranty and security. I guess, it's in our nature to live life in the most certain, secure and safe way.

However, life is not always as easy as we want it to be. Sometimes, in order to achieve something greater or something amazing, life will requires us to face uncertainties and risks first.



If we think about it, going through life is comparable to climbing mountains. Uncertainties of life are just like the uncertain trails along the way, challenges as the roadblocks and in the same way that going to the rockies is risky, life will also have those risky moments as well. But the uncertainties & risks will all be worth it, if what awaits us is the amazing view from the top or  what we gain out of life are experiences and lessons of greater value.
