Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure.

About This Quote

If you are not sure what your future holds, there are still plenty of things to do in your life. You can feel unsure about the future, but that is okay. What you should remember is that most of us are unsure of our future most of the time, and that is unsettling, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. A lot of people find comfort in this uncertainty because they know that everything isn’t pre-determined.

For example, you will never know if the person you are with today will be your last one. That may make you feel uneasy now, but it may save you heartache later on.
