Day 10: In Which We Have a Group Hug with Uncertainty
Day 10: In Which We Have a Group Hug with Uncertainty
"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainty”
— Erich Fromm
- Certainty is perfect knowledge that has total security from error, or the mental state of being without doubt.
- Uncertainty is the situation which involves imperfect and / or unknown information.
Today, I’m willing to let go of certainties, like… failure? Does that make sense? Every time I try something new, there is always that thought that it is certain I will fail, whether true or not.
Today, I welcome the uncertainty of… accomplishment. I don't know if I can do everything, but I can try.
When I let go of certainty, I feel… wobbly? LOL Honestly, this is a hard prompt for me. I don't know how to answer this.
I believe that uncertainty about (name your biggest, nagging uncertainty) could teach me… confidence? I think my biggest uncertainty is about acceptance. I am certain that I will not be accepted by everyone (well, that's a fact) but I need to accept that and embrace it. I have, to a certain degree, accepted that.
I understand this prompt but am unsure on how to apply it to my life and thoughts.
