The ultimate purpose of embracing uncertainty is that it eventually leads to all of us becoming an authority on ourselves. This means by doing hard things we begin to awaken aspects off ourselves which we never knew existed.
These new parts, which have always been available to us, will prove to be very useful for any future challenge we need to navigate. For example, when I worked in real estate in the late 90s and early 2000s, I did a lot of cold calling and door knocking on the streets. We also had a mentor in the office who loved teachers like Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracy.
Embracing the fear and discomfort of going out cold calling looking for new business, and listening to people like Jim, Zig and Brian, unbeknown to me was preparing me to have my own business one day. It was such a great preparation for what was to come.
Becoming an authority on ourselves also means we create a deeply personal sense of wisdom. Emotionally fit people have a quiet sense of wisdom. What does this mean? It means they no longer define themselves by their roles and achievements. They instead define themselves by the character they are becoming.
Their lives become less about them and more about others. They no longer chase the goal of getting happy but embrace the mission of becoming fulfilled. They no longer want to be somebody and prefer to becoming nobody.
They allow an abundance of opportunities to take part in activities which bring them joy, and they are conscious meaning making machines, hence becoming incredibly emotionally healthy. They have a clean and clear perspective on all things and do not believe in regret.
The journey to becoming an authority on yourself takes courage and commitment. These are tow hallmarks of psychological maturity.
