One of the biggest things hold you back in life.
Your need for certainty.
Our brains like predictability. But. Nothing in life is certain.
Everything’s an assumption, based off your current mental model.
Everything in life has some level of chance.
Even obvious things like, “will the sun come up tomorrow?”
Start thinking in bets. Everything has a probability of happening, but not certainty.
Analyze the risk/reward and cost/benefit of your next action. Be ok with the uncertainty. Then go after what you want anyway.
The sooner you can accept this, more at peace with life you’ll be. And the easier it’ll be to jump into action and face uncomfortable situations.
