Uncertain People
Are
you an uncertain person? It’s okay if
you are. Most successful individuals and
almost all pathfinders are uncertain people.
Think
about that for a moment. At the very
heart of uncertainty lies an explorer.
“Where
are you going” we ask.
“Out
there somewhere.”
“And
what will you find?”
“I
don’t know for certain. I’ll know it
when I see it.”
It’s
the thrill of discovery that pushes them along.
Think
of the vast team of individuals who helped Neil Armstrong walk on the
moon. They were uncertain about a lot of
that experience. Oh my, they had their mathematical
formulas, their slide rules and their hopes and dreams, but there was a huge
amount of uncertainty bound up in all of that speculation. And one fine day, a once uncertain Neil
Armstrong walked on that heavenly body we call Earth’s Moon.
When
I started blogging, I was uncertain if I would garner a following. After all, I was yet one more voice in the
blogging world and I was a nobody. Nine
and a half years later and six blog sites later, I’m approaching 500,000 clicks
and am read in over 130 countries.
Scary? You bet. Glad I am doing it? You bet.
I
hope you find the courage to face your uncertain opportunities when they come
along. You can be assured of a few
things. Someone somewhere will tell you
you’re crazy and it can’t be done, at least by you. You’ll talk yourself into and out of that
dream a hundred times before you launch it and before it becomes a
success.
But
launch it you must.
Go
ahead. Show us that the uncertain can
really become certain.
This is
my
morning
reflection.
