There's actually no such thing as certainty. It's all uncertain.
In truth, uncertainty is very helpful in teaching you lessons however. When you live in a world full of uncertainty, you give yourself the chance to live in full probability and be really happy. Those two things come hand in hand. When you really begin to separate yourself from uncertainty by restricting what your future is going to appear like, that is when you can begin to get into a little bit of discomfort. As exciting as that's to do, you become deeply out of touch with true reality and distance yourself from people who are right here at this time. There's nothing worse than living in some place that you can't actually go to, and therefore, missing out on all that is really going down at the moment.
That's my story.
Living in the future and neglecting the present.
Not that it was a horrible thing all of the time, though it was out of alignment with the deep underlying feeling of needing connection with others. I knew that I wanted that connection, so I had to start making some changes. I believe the balance of where dreams and goals lie with a person who has great ambitions is that they honestly must ...and should... appreciate what they have now, be the person who they see in the future at the moment, and learn that the future is only going to be a representation of deep purpose of what is happening in their life right this moment.
My problem was that I looked at the future as a spot where it might all turn out and everything would be OK. Wrong. You need to be okay with what is happening today. When you can actually live in the present moment and let the uncertainty of the future handle itself, happiness creeps in.

Uncertainty is the name of the game.
