Opening to Uncertainty: The Path to What's Next
There’s a particular kind of discomfort in not knowing what comes next. Maybe you’re retiring, navigating an empty nest, dealing with a health situation, or shifting out of a role that defined you for decades. If you feel adrift or uncertain, know that you’re not alone. (I’ve been there!)
I’ve often thought, “Why wasn’t this in the life instruction manual?” Then I remember that I never read manuals. So, there’s that.
It’s easy to believe that when we get to “a certain age,” we need to have it all figured out, but the truth is, we rarely do. Life transitions, especially in the second half of life, are often less about having a clear destination and more about the journey of discovering and embracing who we are.
What would it feel like to release the pressure of knowing what’s next and instead embrace the not-knowing? Hmmm… often easier said than done.
But here’s the thing: embracing uncertainty doesn’t mean we’re lost—it means we’re open to what’s possible. When we let go of the need to have all the answers, we create space for something new, something authentic, to emerge. And that’s where the magic happens.
Transitional Truth:
Not knowing what’s next isn’t a problem to be fixed; it’s an opportunity to center yourself in the vast open space of possibility.
Possibility Practice:
Place your hand on your heart. Say to yourself, “Something good is going to happen today.” Notice when that good thing happens. It may be big; it may be small. Don’t miss it!
