Most people would prefer to be certain of things in order that they will feel more secure. We hate uncertainties. But this is indeed a paradox because 'life' itself is about uncertainties. Each day we wake up, we are exposed to a world of uncertainties. We don't really know what would happen in the day. Our computer may be attacked by a virus. Our children could fall sick. A client's cheque could bounce - anything could happen. In view of our present electronic era, these uncertainties have become even more glaring. Today the stock market could go up and everybody is very optimistic but tomorrow it could go down and everybody is very gloomy. Changes and uncertainties become the order of the day.
But is uncertainties really that frightening ? If we were to look at it from another angle, uncertainties actually means POSSIBILITIES. If things are certain, there is only one answer, therefore no other possibilities. It is because it is not certain that we have POSSIBILITIES. Hence we should look forward to uncertainties where everything is possible!
Similarly I notice that a lot of people prefer to get a job and have a fixed pay - in other words a pay which is certain. Here again if you analyse carefully fixed also means LIMITED ! In other words no matter how hard we work the pay is fixed or limited. A lot of people shun jobs which do not offer any fixed pay for fear of uncertainties. But what they fail to realise is that when your pay is not fixed, it also means it is unlimited!
That is why if you are in your own business or you are paid on commission, there is nobody who can put a cap on your income other than yourself.
If you sincerely want to grow, take up the challenge to look for work which offers you unlimited income - you will find a world of Possibilities slowly unfolding in front of your eyes. Don't look for a job where everything is certain - that is not what life is about.
We Dare You.
May all possibilities unfold before you.
Your fellow traveler in time.
