The Gift Of Uncertainty

Dealing with uncertainty is one of the most challenging tasks for both children and adults. When very young, children are more centered in the here and now, and do not worry so much about past and future issues. But that changes rather quickly as we all get indoctrinated into the “adult” world.

Not Resisting The Present

Learning to live without guarantees and assurances is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and others. This requires our full attention and focus. We learn not to resist what is going on in the present moment, no matter if we call it good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, joyful or sorrowful. It is just what is at the moment.

Need To Know

We get so caught up with having our ducks in order, and looking for guarantees. But it does not take a lot of reflection to look back to those times when things went well, and we still experienced some dissatisfaction. All that we need to know is what is in front of us to do, and more will be revealed. By doing this, we get out of our own way, and are able to perform effectively in our current setting.

The Gift

Uncertainty is really a gift. Otherwise we would be bored by knowing how things will play out in advance. We get to learn and grow in the process. We improve the self-concept of our child by encouraging spontaneity and having new experiences (while being there to guide and set appropriate limits).

Many psychosomatic disorders would simply disappear when we stop worrying, embrace the moment, and let our inner essence and light shine. When we learn to be our best friend, and stop projecting “what might be”, we are then able to fully live and experience “what is”. Click here for the Transforming Child Behavior Home Page.
