As students we are worried about our future all the time, moreover because we have certain expectations to meet and goals to achieve. It is human nature to feel that we are masters of our own ship, but in the midst of all this we forget that uncertainty is inevitable.
Yes, unpredictable things happen, but what we forget is the importance in embracing uncertainty. After all, what is the pleasure in a story without hurdles, without having to step out of your comfort zone? You’ll miss the feeling of accomplishment, the feeling of being terrified after taking an unknown leap of faith, and the strength of pushing boundaries of possibility.
It is the nature of comfort to shrink our potential, while uncertainty pushes us to explore what more we are capable of achieving. Leave it on “fate” to give you false hope, but take it upon yourself to stand up no matter what challenges life injects within you. Don’t let the convenience of time or sadness of a situation let you procrastinate the next best action you need to take in order to grow, no matter how uncertain it might be.
In this unpredictable and fast-changing world take that risky next step, because even if you don’t succeed at least you will have an inspiring story to tell.
