Uncertainty. A Traveling Companion
When standing at a crossroad in your life, it’s natural to seek answers.
To search for certainty about your next steps. To want assurance that the decision you are making will lead you in the right direction, with the best possible outcome.
So you think through the pros and cons. You talk with trusted people. You consider expert advice. You scroll the web and social media for guidance. Maybe you even check in with your own heart and soul.
And still, you can’t know exactly where this choice will lead you.
Eventually, after all the thinking and seeking, there comes a moment when it’s just you and this one guest that refuses to leave: Uncertainty.
The two of you sit quietly together, perhaps over a cup of tea.
You feel the mix of discomfort and excitement. The longing for clarity. The ache to know for sure that everything will work out beautifully.
But as you spend time with Uncertainty, something unexpected happens.
Your anxiety softens.
Your mind loosens its grip.
Your Heart begins to speak.
Quieter now, more spacious, you can hear the subtle conversation unfolding between your Heart and this mysterious companion.
They talk about the wonder of discovery and the potential for extraordinary growth.
Your Heart remembers the countless times you’ve navigated challenges with grace, strength, and grit.
Together, they soothe the body.
Worry loosens. New possibilities flicker. A different kind of courage rises.
Somehow, without trying, your Heart and Uncertainty become allies — fellow adventurers in this next chapter of your life.
And as the two of them finish their tea and begin packing for the journey ahead, your Heart notices an extra bag sitting nearby. It’s already packed and glowing softly.
“Who owns that bag?” your Heart asks.
“Oh, that one?” Uncertainty smiles.
“It’s for your Soul. Whenever you wander beyond the edge of the known, your Soul insists on coming along — offering its light, its wisdom, and its quiet reassurance.”
Your Heart relaxes, remembering the truth it keeps forgetting: You never walk alone.
So you gather yourself.
Take a breath.
Feel your feet on the ground.
You may not know what this path will look like, but you trust your companions — Heart, Soul, and even Uncertainty. Especially Uncertainty.
With a little spark in your step, you begin.
Not because you know exactly where you’re going,
but because everything you need is already within you.
Peace be with you and with all. No exceptions.
