uncertainty

Why is it that our culture instill in us the need to figure things out?

In talking to a couple of girlfriends who hear their biological clocks ticking, it occurred to me that our culture is making people unhappy by giving them a very narrow view of what is possible.

Perhaps our generation will be the first one where not every woman is a mother by 35. Some of my closest girlfriends are women past childbearing age who didn't have children. Their extra energy has been channeled into fulfilling lives, including enriching mine.

What about changing our viewpoint and embracing uncertainty in order to find happiness?

Does figuring things out and having certainty the answer? If we are truly ourselves all the time, then we can find peace at any given point, in any situation.
