“Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position. But certainty is an absurd one.”Voltaire
In modern life, we often seek certainty in our decisions and future plans, but this quote reminds us that complete certainty is unrealistic. Embracing uncertainty can lead to growth and adaptability, allowing us to navigate life's unexpected twists and turns with grace. For example, instead of stressing over every little detail of a project at work, embracing the uncertainty of how it will unfold can open up space for creativity and innovation.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. This aligns with the Stoic pillar of Wisdom as it emphasizes the importance of accepting uncertainty and seeking guidance beyond our limited perspectives.
