Lived Fog of the Future: The Gift of Uncertainty

The lived fog of the future isn't what stands between you and life fully lived--it IS life fully lived.

There is a moment most of us have experienced but rarely named. You stand at a threshold-a decision, a transition, a beginning or an ending-and the path forward disappears into something you cannot quite see through. It isn't darkness exactly. You can sense that something exists beyond where your vision reaches. There is ground ahead. There is a future taking shape. But its details, its contours, its ultimate destination remains obscured.

We have called this feeling many different things ... Anxiety. Uncertainty. Fear. Confusion. Being lost. What we have rarely called it is what it actually is: The natural and necessary terrain of a fully lived human life.
