Successful people respond differently to uncertainty

As you coach people, people can't seem to follow the logical progression of things. They don't love where they're at. It's clear to everyone else but them that if they keep going down this path, they're gonna be miserable and even worse off in ten years 'cause they're older, but they can't seem to see that path forward. What, what do you think makes you different or unique that you're like, "Okay, I can see where this is going. I don't like where that's going. I'm gonna change now"? I'm not sure if I would call it different or unique in a way, but I definitely noticed that in my coaching practice as well, and I think this is really one of the most important skills that you can really have to start creating effective change in your life, is that you need to see uncertainty as just a feeling, not positive, not negative. Uncertainty just is. And when you can see that uncertainty and discomfort are not necessarily things to avoid, it really starts dramatically changing your behavior. If I give the example of, like, the career choice thing. A lot of the re-reason that people pick a certain career path is because once you've picked the career path, it takes away so much uncertainty about what you're gonna do for the rest of your life. But what's wrong with having the un-- What's wrong with exploring for a little bit longer? What's wrong with saying, "You know, here's what I feel like I might wanna do, but I'm not really sure, and I'm gonna s-spend a few years trying to figure it out"? Now, if we have that mindset, our plans start changing because we take the mentality that we're gonna be figuring things out. So what could I do to figure this out? What kind of reflection, what kind of questions can I ask myself? What kind of experiences can I gain to actually figure it out? There are a lot of people that don't want to question the way that they are doing things or question that the decisions that they've made in the past because doing so opens up that uncertainty again, and they've associated that uncertainty as a bad thing as opposed to the uncertainty actually being the opportunity for growth, the unknown that we actually want to step into. Whenever there are these feelings of uncertainty that I have, I am trying to self-regulate myself towards not avoiding that, which is sort of the more instinctual habit, and deliberately asking myself, "Okay, how can I explore this uncertainty in a way that feels safe?"
