“You can’t control everything, but you can control a lot. Keep the unknowns to a minimum. You should be completely confident with what you can do and should have very few question marks. Have backup plans for any question marks you may have.”—Dan Gable
Unknowns. We cannot control everything that happens to us. There is little certainty in life. Nevertheless, we have to embrace the unknown and live outside our comfort zone.
The unknown can restrain us or excite us. It is a matter of choice. In the face of uncertainty, one needs to prepare for the possibilities—to remove the question marks.
Confidence gives us the strength to face the unknowns. We “gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face” (Eleanor Roosevelt). So, we must face our fears and, simply, be our best today.
Carpe momento!
“Greatness is a road leading towards the unknown.”—Charles de Gaulle
