the Humanist view

We live in times of uncertainty, here in my homeland; and sadly seemingly world over. We are hearing terrifying news in volumes uncomfortable.

And so, I seek wisdom from the Serenity Prayer:

If there is anyway that I can find the certainty that I need, I will do all in my power to find it.

I am not very good dealing with uncertainty.

All I need is a little push and my courage will be boosted to try the best as I can to find certainty.

Yes, no wonder, I am among those who does not like surprises. Simply because I am a planner, I like to see the big picture and also the details, step by step.

This does not mean I am that rigid and are unable to handle surprises. I think I am flexible enough to do so.

Sometimes, I struggle to know the difference of things that I can change and those that I cannot change.

But, when I do realize I am unable to change it and uncertainty I must endure, I am becoming adept at leaning on the positive side.

Training my thoughts to expect the positive and not spend harrowing hours being paralyzed by negativity and negative thoughts.

I do my best to hope for the best!
