Uncertainty Is Our Only Certainty!
Allow me to share here the Quora.com post of Ed Conley: WHEN MY MOM WAS 100, SHE WAS STILL DRIVING and tells her son "I'M SO HAPPY". WHY MOM? BECAUSE I HAVE NO FUTURE. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I HAD A FUTURE AND I WASN'T SO HAPPY'. So, there you go. Nope dude, I'm NOT implying we should live till 100. BUT the thing here is WHY worry about the FUTURE WHEN Uncertainty Is Our Only Certainty???
Oooooops, before I ger whacked here, I'm NOT implying that we should NOT plan for our FUTURE, our family's FUTURE. Point here is, YES GO AHEAD, plan your and your family's FUTURE BUT the thing is, life is filled with uncertainty and worries WHEN we start talking about the FUTURE. WHILE many things remain outside our control, your mindset is key to coping with difficult circumstances and then confidently facing the UNKNOWNπ₯π₯π₯
YES YES yow, UNCERTAINTY is all around us. WHO was certain enough that US President Donald Trump will literally bounce back to become the world's most powerful authority again? WHO thought that YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, a non-smoker, will die due to Lung Cancer? WHO expected Indonesia Prabowo Subianto to be today's President WHEN he ran for President for the 3rd time? And heard of celebrities in their 30s WHO unceremoniously died recently? And heard of household names awash with wealth but are suddenly NOW languishing in poverty? Years ago, I was liaising with my bubbly and active agent for my condo rental. One day, she was NOT responding to my messages. WHEN I checked, she died from a cardiac arrest???
Oooooops, apologies if I painted a very dark horizon so let's swing to those couples now at the advanced age. YET they are enjoying the bright sunshine everyday and do we see apprehensions OR worries in their faces? NO traces, right? YES, I'll loop back to that Quora.com post of Ed Conley WHEREIN his 100-year old mom confided that she's HAPPY because she has NO worry because she has NO future to worry about. True, we're all different in HOW much UNCERTAINTY we can tolerateπππ
Our takeaway: This is a no-brainer folks. We have discussed HAPPINESS a zillion times and nothing can take away the fact that we can best find and enjoy HAPPINESS right NOW, at the PRESENT, in the MOMENT. WHILE it's true that NOT all our NOWs, PRESENTs and current MOMENTs can be considered as HAPPY ones but how about looking at the glass with half-water as half-full instead of half-empty? Oh Oh Oh, in the spirit of DECEMBER, sharing this HAPPINESS CALENDAR. Yes dude, UNCERTAINTY IS OUR ONLY CERTAINTY❗❗❗
