Part of the personal growth process of acceptance is to accept what you don’t know.
Humans tend to seek solace in knowledge. Indeed, a significant amount of “knowledge” and “certainty” is, in reality, just opinions.
To be able to accept what we do not know is a significant step; it allows you to let go and trust, which can remove stress and anxiety.
Simply surrendering yourself to whatever is happening and may happen in the future is a liberating experience and when you stop investing energy in futile efforts to “control”, you’ll be amazed at how your physical energy levels will increase.
