CREATING YOUR CERTAINTY IN A NOT-SO-CERTAIN WORLD

 

We are all living with the same level of global uncertainty. Certainty is what you create. The degree of certainty that you are experiencing right now is what you have decided to create. 

Certainty is not bestowed on you from some external source. You create the environment that you are able to prosper from. You decide the level of risk you are comfortable with, you decide whether to change and develop the skill to become comfortable with higher levels of uncertainty.

Every day you are assessing risk, whether starting a business, leaving a job, booking a holiday or getting on a train. Not deciding still counts as a decision and this is a decision to remain uncertain.

How to Create Certainty in an Uncertain World

You cannot control the world or anyone in it but you can trust in yourself.  Here is how to create certainty in an uncertain world:

  1. Remember that challenge and change are merely detours in the right direction, if you are open to the lessons that the challenge will present change will happen.
  2. For change to happen recognise that you must be willing to change.
  3. Release your need to control what you cannot control. Be open to the unknown opportunities that the uncertain world will bring.
  4. 95% of what you think and say is unconscious, this is your trusted internal unlimited source of knowledge and insight. Tap into a powerful source within you that can transform how you think and act in your internal and external world.
  5. To change the uncertainty of the external world for something more comfortable, journey into your inner world, and tap into your own abundant trusted reserves.
  6. Failure is not the opposite of success but rather a key component of it, providing that you learn from your mistakes. Failure is therefore only defined as the absence of learning and reflection and this is your choice.
  7. Take 100% responsibility for all your thoughts, actions and outcomes.

Certainty is not found in the uncertain world, certainty is found in your willingness to trust yourself and your deliberate and active role in taking 100% responsibility for your thoughts, actions and outcomes. If you invest in being the best you can be, living your life in your meaningful purpose the uncertain world has less impact.

Lopound Virus 6 (Finale)

Soon the white board showed a beam of light and a video clip began to play. A man dressed in a black mask entered a very familiar room. He rummaged through files on a long mahogany table then an older man walked in. The masked man held a gun to the older man's head,he collected some files and shot him. Was it a dream? The older man was Prof and that  was his office. He opened a laptop but it seemed he was having difficulties with operating it. He yanked the mask off his head to view well into the screen. The camera zoomed in. It was Efe! Haaaaa!, shouted the lady beside me. The DG stood up, cleaned his spectacles and wore it again. There was an uproar followed by immediate murmuring. Efe jumped down form the podium and made for the exit door but was stopped by one of the disguised State Security Service officers (SSS). The SG grabbed the microphone. "All other recipients please go back to your seat. I just pulled a stunt to have him standby", he said with a...

Goldfishes have no hiding place, so I guess this is why Ayo could not find a hiding place either.
