We often overthink a lot where we come to a state when we start live and believe our own thinking and fear. And when things does not goes as planned, we begin to question more and more what we’re doing wrong.

And in these moments of insecurity, of deep despair, that we become easily influenced to insidious entitlement, believing that we deserve to cheat a little to get our way, that other people deserve to be punished, that we deserve to take what we want and sometimes violently.

But the thing is, the more you try to be certain about something, the more uncertain and insecure you will feel.

Uncertainty removes judgement of others; it pre-empts the unnecessary stereotyping and biases that we often feel when we see somebody on tv , in college or on the streets.

There is a thing — “ The more something threatens your identity, the more you try to avoid it.”

We get so used to of our daily activities that even if we want to do something we won’t and the main reason is we fear change. We are certain that if we will continue doing what we are doing we will get no where but still we continue to do the same.

Growth lies in uncertainty.

We have often heard-

“Those who knows everything , knows nothing.”

Which is true! When we are certain about our result we don’t try to do something new or learn something . Being uncertain can open new doors and increase our curiosity to learn something new which results in increase in our creativity and thinking ability .

We can not digest the fact that we are wrong. We are not open to growth , we are certain about results and fear if the things go wrong what we will do next. So it’s really important to be uncertain and open to new challenges and grow every day.
