Description

If anything is for certain, it's that uncertainty is a natural part of life! Yet so often, we feel like we need to know the right answer or the outcome before we get to enjoy life. We're all living through a particularly significant phase of uncertainty right now, so how can we navigate it?

In this episode, we use an excerpt from a 19th-century book called Letters to a Young Poet as a starting place for our discussion: “Be patient towards all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms, like books written in a foreign tongue. Do not strive to uncover answers; they cannot be given to you because you have not been able to live them. And what matters is to live everything. Live the questions for now. Perhaps then you will gradually, without noticing it, live your way into the answer, one day in the distant future. Perhaps you do carry within yourself the possibility of forming and creating, as a particularly happy and pure way of living.” Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters to A Young Poet
