I've been thinking over the notion of uncertainty these last few days, mulling over the reasons why uncertainty in daily living causes stress. Then it kicked me right in the face.
For those of you who kow this already, this will not come as a surprise...
50% of life is open to question and interpretation. see:
L IF E
And it is the middle bit that is all about if. So the beginning 25% is pretty sure, the end 25% is prety sure, but that whol 50% middle bit is nothing but IF.
Now I consider myself to be a glass-half-full person, most of the time. So I found this IF bit interesting..
"IF I turn this way, I could do this... or IF I turn that way, i could do that"
"IF I give myself to this task, it will prevent me from doing that other thing for a while."
and on and on and on...
It would be easy to interject negative IFs in there, although I don't think I'd feel quite as satisfied in that. So, with the positive IFs in mind, I've got a broader, better outlook.
What direction are your IFs pointing you?
