I LOVE UNCERTAINTY

I LOVE UNCERTAINTY
The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.

~ Erich Fromm ~
There was a day I sought out certainty. It well could have been certainty that helped address my deep seated insecurities. Certainty in employment, certainty in relationships, certainty in investments and so on.
Can you relate?
As Fromm so aptly points out, in always seeking certainty, I closed my mind to possibilities, and overlooked some great possibilities because they were not a sure thing. A closed mind limited my personal power because it kept me from looking for true meaning in my life. Some of the certainties I used were just for escaping realities and feelings.
Today, having a measure of uncertainty in love is the door to the future, it is a power that allows me to continue to grow and I embrace it!
