I Don’t Know

Knowing how to deal with what you don’t know will give you an edge over people who think they know.  You can only really know something if it’s already happened.  You can’t know for example that your car will start this morning until it does. 

Sometimes people think they know and are surprised to find out they don’t. It’s usually because they’ve drawn conclusions to push away the question marks.  Using fear-based conclusions as a way to button up the unknown will catch up to you.

Not knowing drives some people crazy.  We all want things to make sense and the mystery of it all can be unsettling.  Hand-wringing about what you don’t know is a waste of emotional bandwidth.

A more useful approach is to aggregate what you DO know and move forward with your best educated guess. 

Base your next strategy on probability instead of a misguided conclusion about something unknowable.  

Pro Tip: Faith brings tremendous comfort in the storms of the unknown.
