People who seem certain make me nervous.

Sometimes peace of mind only comes from admitting we’re uncertain.

You know the type.

It’s the person who’s 100% convinced that their opinion about a topic (faith, business, politics, etc.) is absolute and is unable to see any other viewpoint.

The older I get, the more comfortable I am with not knowing all the answers.

I’m embracing a challenge from Pastor Danny Gulden to treat life as a “mystery to be explored rather than a problem to be solved”.

It’s not always easy.

Our brains crave certainty almost as much as we need oxygen.

Unfortunately, this chase for the perfect solution rarely leads to what we really crave – peace of mind.

Sometimes that only comes from admitting we’re uncertain.
