If everything were predictable, life would be so dang boring.

But that’s also the reason why life is so damn scary. We hate uncertainty. We prefer to live in the past or consume ourselves trying to plan for the future because we’re trying to make the uncertain certain.

I used to make the mistake of listening to other people’s productivity advice.

I would create one, three, ten, and long-term goals that fed into my quarterly, weekly, and daily priorities. I felt all I was doing was planning to plan.

It’s a silly way to live every-single-second.

Would you watch a movie if you knew the ending? Would you watch a TV show if you could predict every twist and turn in a series?

Of course not, life is meant to be mysterious, but she also gives you two guarantees to help you live your best life.

Guarantee 1: You were born.

We rarely look back on our birth.

But being here, where you are right now, is a miracle. You’ve won the lottery no matter how shitty your life might feel at times. You landed on this twirling planet zipping around the cosmos, an opportunity to live and learn crucial lessons.
