How do you deal with uncertainty?
I always say Life is uncertain. What’s gonna happen next, we don’t know. No one can be certain about anything. We can make plans, but whether they are executed as we wish is beyond our control.
To deal with it, I first understand clearly that I have absolutely no control over anything. My job is to try hard and never give up. With my consistent efforts, I will reach the place I desire or come closer to it.
Another way to deal with it is to have no attachment to the results of your work. It sounds easy, but it’s actually not. Detachment doesn’t mean you don’t have to care about the results; it’s just that you are not affected by the results, whether in your favor or not.
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥
It’s a shloka from the famous Hindu text- the Gita- that sums it up. I try to follow it in my life so as not to be affected by uncertainty.
How about you? How do you deal with it? It would be interesting to know your thoughts.
