423: How to Live in Sync with Your Inner Compass
The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
My niece is graduating from high school this year, and as an aunt, it is a practice in letting go and trusting the amazing person that she is that she will find her way in life. If I were her parent, it would be different, as there is more direct support involved. This has been a great practice in exemplifying what is talked about here on TSLL: Living with intention, having clarity, being loving and kind while honoring our integrity in all interactions, but not clinging, controlling or manipulating. Our life is our own, and every other person has their own life journey to travel. Often,...

“We might think that security is everything. But to secure something is to bind it. To keep it still. In contrast, in embracing uncertainty, we discover an ever-changing freedom and flow.” —Andy Puddicombe An unexpected event.

An unexpected event. From startling good news that seems to come out of the blue or devastating loss, these events and anything in between that occur outside of what we imagine or have forgotten could happen or believed wouldn’t happen for some time, provide a powerful medicine to bring out a deeply fulfilling life.
These events that shake us awake to the reality that we cannot know how life will unfold from day to day are what American psychiatrist Irvin Yalom describes as ‘awakening experiences’. And this awakening is an awesome opportunity, should we choose to see it as such.
“Uncertainty has so much to teach us.” —Anne-Laure Le Cunff, author of Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World
As a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and now author, Anne-Laure Le Cunff shares how embracing uncertainty is ironically the “antidote to burnout and boredom alike—a counterforce to the fear, overwhelm, confusion, and loneliness”, many people she knows and observes “try to apply old notions of success to the world we’re living in today.”
Paired with befriending our curiosity, practicing mindfulness in our work around our approach to productivity, and keeping an open mind, when we welcome all four into our daily approach to live, that is when our life begins to sing – in the daily rhythm that deepens our contentment and in the outcome of wherever we have set our intentions to extend towards.
“When you lean into your curiosity, uncertainty can be a state of expanded possibility, a space for metamorphosis. It’s a way to turn challenges into triggers for self-discovery and doubt into a source of opportunity.” —Anne-Laure Le Cunff
