[[Notes]] - Topics: [[Change]], [[Uncertainty]] - People: [[Brenda Reynolds]] - Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JZMfUHuTo4 --- ## Summary - [[Uncertainty can be visualized like a fog - a transition fog between where you are now and where you want to be]]. - [[Turn on your low beams]]. Navigate what you can see, one stretch at a time. - Sometimes, you may need to pull over and wait for the fog to clear before safely moving forward. - [[The destination is where you're going. The journey is how you're growing.]] - [[It's not the clear sighted who ruled the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed warm fog.]] ## Notes - Something unexpected always happens the moment you feel like you're almost ready. - The moment your path forward becomes uncertain, you've encountered transition fog. - "That fog has us somewhere between the way it was and the way it will be... and the space in between is called uncertainty". - [[Transition fog is a result of not knowing what's next and our lack of control]]. - What limits our view forward isn't necessarily not knowing, but rather than negative emotions associated with uncertainty - fear, anxiety and doubt. - [[Always be open]]. Don't limit yourself based on what you don't know don't have or cannot do at this very moment. - [[Don't let what you have today limit the potentials that you can achieve tomorrow]]. - Answer "now what?" with "now me". - When feeling uncertain, slow down. - "There was no sense in trying to see too far forward and simply couldn't". - [[Turn on your low beams]]. Navigate what you can see, one stretch at a time. - Sometimes, you may need to pull over and wait for the fog to clear before safely moving forward. - Remind yourself of the everyday progress you've made. Shout don't whisper. - "[[Navigate uncertainty one 'next move' at a time]]". - Always remember where you're going. - The journey is important, but so is the destination. The destination is less important if you have a vague sense of where you're going. - [[The destination is where you're going. The journey is how you're growing.]] - Identify your potholes, avoid them at all costs. - You can't cure uncertainty with impatience. - [[Impatience is not the cure for uncertainty, but the poison]]. [[The dose makes the poison]]. - Change offers the opportunity to question what is "good enough". - "Fog is simply a freakin' opportunity for growth". - Where there's tragedy there's also triumph. - "It's only in the rearview mirror that we can see the gift of the fog and how much we've grown". - "[[It's not the clear sighted who ruled the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed warm fog.]]" - Joseph Conrad. ## Original ![[Navigating transition fog-1.jpg]] ![[Navigating transition fog-2.jpg]]
