6 Powerful Ways to Stop Being Afraid of Change and Uncertainty
How to deal with life’s unpredictability
“Change is the only constant.”
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said those words several millennia ago, but in the 21st century, they are more relevant than ever.
We live in a world of rapid technological progress, global uncertainty, and immense societal changes. In simple terms, our world evolves at an unprecedented pace.
In the face of those changes, many people are afraid.
We fear that our comfy office job might not exist a decade from now. Our city’s stable economy could fall victim to globalization. And all of our conservative investments might become worthless.
There are more variables than constants, and this creates a lot of doubts in our heads.
Should I try my luck as an entrepreneur? Should I move overseas and become a nomad? And most importantly, how do I make critical decisions in such an uncertain climate?
Fear and doubts are natural parts of our thinking, but we have to deal with them.
The consequence of uncertainty cannot be apathy, which is why we need to thrive in the face of change. In other words, we need to act when the seas get rough.
