#232 - Your Need For Certainty Is Taking Years Off Your Life

Certainty is actually an illusion. Think about it – was there ever a time when we knew for sure how things would unfold? Even with the best preparation, you can’t control everything in the universe. Job security is subject to industry and company shifts. Relationships transform as people grow and change how they see the world and what they want out of it. Today Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talks about certainty and how our need for it limits us in every way in our lives. If you’ve formed an attachment to something, odds are you’ve decided it’s a necessary component to your desired life – the home where you feel safe or the relationship that gives you love and support. Now, look at it from a different perspective. When you are attached to less, you open yourself up to more than you can imagine. A flower can’t grow if it clings to its roots.
