Knowing and accepting tha fact that the cup of my life is going to be broken one day and not to get hung up or chained by the fear of uncertainty is the way of living fully. This is my understanding of the "wisdom of uncertainty". Because I know the fate, I accept it without denying or resisting it.This way of thinking and knowing creates a weather of freedom and openness in my mind. Such a mindset helps me live fully.
We all have been going through the uncertainty at this time in our life. The arrival and the spread of the corona virus has caused fear, worry and anxiety in our mind. How do we deal with these huge clouds of fear, worry, and anxiety floating iin our mind? This is a big existential challenge to all of us. My daughter runs a private MontessoriSchoolin Phoenix, AZ. The virus situation has been
causing a lot of worry and anxiety in her and my mind. We are not sure about
how long the corona virus will last. Instead of worrying about the uncertaintywe mindfully processed our fear and anxiety and came up with a well thought out plan for opening and operating our school. One week is gone smoothly and we are confident that we will be able to run the course smoothly. We are sailing the boat with the winds of compassion and cooperation of all the people involved in this endeavor.
Doing the best we can do without worrying about or attached to the outcomes of our efforts helps us live in the "Trusting Mind." When doubts or worries arise in our mind we mindfully process them, let them come and go. The "Free Mind" is the "Trusting Mind".
Namaste!
