Don’t be certain – pursue closer to right. #CtR
Certainty is a mental construct that makes me feel safe.
It’s efficient, not effective.
It comes at the cost of the delusion of control.
Closer to right dissolves that delusion.
CtR is not right. It’s alignment.
Right is above our pay grade. So is wrong.
Both are an opinion.
Opinions are why we believe something to be true
based on our preferences.
Believing we don’t have an opinion
is unwilling to perceive the truth as we believe it to be.
It comes at the cost of imagination,
of alignment.
When I say, “this is how I see it,”
I own what I see without demanding agreement.
Having an opinion is stepping into possibility
and away from what feels safe.
It’s stepping into trusting something bigger.
It’s an act of courage.
In a world of infinite too much toomuchness,
Don’t be certain is the line between
delusion and imagination.
