Right now we are in the middle of updating our site and preparing to launch a brand update. It is called Story and we have been putting a lot of love and care into it. The unknown is mixed in with the excitement. Do you get stuck in needing to know? That in-between tension of not knowing what the outcome will be and wanting to know? I do. Will this project turn out well? Did I make the right decision? Did my comment sound rude? Will the meeting go well?

We have this need to KNOW. Not knowing feels scary and we have a hard time being okay with it. We do all we can to remove the unknown. We read, take a course, seek advice, hesitate, think about it. Determined if we look hard enough, certainty will be found. But I have decided, not knowing is part of life. We can do all we can to remove the unknown but in the end we are exhausted and still don’t know. :)

Because deep down, that needing to know is good old fashioned fear.

It’s good to learn, seek advice, and read books. But getting stuck there is not good. Life is an up and down ride and we never fully know what the future holds. Being okay with that ceases a whole lot needless crazy. It as been nice to realize the not knowing is not bad. It is is good. And that may be one of the few things I can know.
