Your last words ...Thank you for your response Tony! Your last words for me are what resonate strongest. For me, it is in fact the invitation to stop reacting to stories based in fear and to get comfortable with our experiences of discomfort so that we can remain in the present moment. And so the journey continues!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384887166941659012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645949886279587561.post-4293484481347042562014-05-30T04:54:13.139-07:002014-05-30T04:54:13.139-07:00Great post Emi, there's a lot in here that res...Great post Emi, there's a lot in here that resonates with me. It's interesting when we really try and look at ourselves objectively to see whether our aspirations actually align with our actions. <br /><br />Certainty is without doubt an attractive drug, and I wonder to what extent we as humans are 'hardwired' to value it? Our survival as a species is largely predicated upon the need to know how things work, what food we can / can't eat, what is dangerous / not dangerous etc. It's therefore reasonable to assume that our need for certainty is buried deep within our psyche, no matter how much we would like to think of ourselves as radical and creative.<br /> <br />Being conscious of the notion that our need for certainly is both a fundamental construct and at the same time an illusion is a powerful tool for helping us live in the moment. If it is possible to accept the idea that nothing is certain, it should be easier to reduce our fear of change as we become aware that change is the only certainty. Breaking our addiction to certainty is probably harder than giving up smoking (or coffee), but achieving and really internalizing this realization should ultimately lead to a life less dominated by fear.Tony Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359077599200501873noreply@blogger.com
