Excerpt from Book Chapter One The Super- Power OF Uncertainty How to Move Forward in an Uncertain Life I hate transition. But Im black coal and this compression is turning me into a diamond. And as much as I want to conform and just be like every other chunk of coal, I am cursed by my need for a life of meaning. I will walk or crawl through transformation. Because I want a life of diamonds. Tama Kieves (journal entry) Real change isnt about knowing the right actions to take. Because, really, we all know you should probably eat kale instead of a pail of Ben & Jerrys Rocky Road. Real change comes from an emotional and spiritual readiness. Its about changing from the inside, becoming ready to take the steps that arise from our essence. Its only readiness that makes an action right. Tama Kieves (journal entry) Where do you crave certainty right now? This, my friend, is where youre growing wings. You are in transition, about to crack open into the next dimension of wonder in your life. I know because youre alive-and that is how life works. As a life and career/success coach and workshop leader, Ive worked intimately with thousands in transition. Ive seen every kind of crossroads. And Ive often seen this pattern. Its the insistence on how things are supposed to be that causes pain. You do not lack the right life right now. You do not lack your path or the absolute best circumstances. You lack awareness. You are thriving just by being in the fray. Uncertainty is your superpower. Its oxygen. Its necessary. It shakes you awake. It breaks through the shield of habit and exposes you to new options, redemption, and growth. Change is how you discover that you are more than who you thought you were, as you move from one identity to the next. So, yes, awesome one, change, helplessness, frustration-all of it is how we bake this cake. And this is how every extraordinary life is supposed to go. On a clear, bright, high-def day in July, my friend Grace and I walked across the Hudson River walkway in Poughkeepsie, New York. Grace had come with the idea to do a healing ritual. She is my energy-sensitive shaman friend, walking with white owls in one realm and copywriting for marketing executives in another. I love people who walk in multiple realms-and I suspect that you are one of those people. I believe we are the ones who will shift the world. Grace was going through a divorce. This change was slicing her to the bone, forcing her to let go of a dream and an identity. She was dismantling shared finances, responsibilities, and real estate. And each time her husband, her once-gentle friend, screamed accusations or punched a wall, she felt her heart break again. Yet Grace was determined to thrive, no matter the circumstances. At the time, I was feeling out of control with my business. Id wake up in the middle of the night in a panic, worrying that I couldnt get everything done or that I wouldnt ever find the right people to help me, especially since I was now nuts and could offer them something like bubkes as a base salary. Really, I just wanted to hand someone all of my problems like a bunch of grenades and run. Interviewing prospective hires was like dating, only worse because I might have to pay them, too. I was so overwhelmed that even taking steps to get out of the overwhelm produced more overwhelm. And underneath it all, I was grieving a loved ones health challenge. In moments of stress that seemed unbearable, I found myself in a haggling mode with God or the Universe or any power on call that day: Take it all away. Take away the uncertainty, the pressure, make it all go away. Give me an answer. Just take care of it. It was the prayer of the tired. It was the prayer of someone who had forgotten that real peace of mind isnt something you can just pick up at ShopRite like toilet paper. It was the prayer of someone who just wanted this done already. I was frantic to be out of pain and I hadnt yet realized that pushing myself to be out of pain was causing even more pain. This is one of those mysterious ironies in life that involve something like acceptance, and I really hate that. I wanted to be "there" already-somewhere it was all resolved and I was maybe just a tiny bit wealthy, famous, skinny, and adored and all of it was permanent and guaranteed, and no one I loved was ever going to die, and if possible there wasnt going to be climate change either, because I despise heat. But, of course, life was asking me to be here. Be here in the middle. Because here is where the Milky Way is. Here is where the journey is. Here is where the answers are, and the big payoffs, every single one of them. Here. Not there. The Universe was answering my prayer. It was answering it with the circumstances that would catapult me into change. Grace had brought with her a woven blue pouch. Within the pouch, there were a small smooth black stone and a small smooth white one. She had gotten this "kit" as a sort of fun personal divination tool long ago. You ask your question about the future, then pick a stone: White is yes; black is no. She was going to toss the stones into the great beaming Hudson River from high on the bridge. "Good-bye black-and-white thinking," she said, referring to expectations, answers, the mad desire for control. Shed had enough of trying to make her situation just go away or tie it up in a bow. "Im not looking for definitive answers now," she said. I felt this big space come over us. The truth always has this signature. "Im done with trying to force solutions or breakthroughs as though I can," laughed my wise friend. Were not looking for answers. Were looking for next steps. " " "So, what are we looking for if not immediate resolution?" I asked her as the tiny pouch with the simple promises twirled its way off the bridge, getting smaller and smaller, finally splashing into the great river below. The moment I asked the question, I knew the answer. "Next steps," I said. "Were not looking for answers. Were looking for next steps." As if on cue, a breeze rippled the river below. I felt as though a Silent Love nodded with approval. When I coach clients professionally, I guide these brilliant souls, who are no longer looking to create a conventional life, to follow the bread crumbs along the trail. Its the only path I know to the beckoning "gingerbread house" of the new life, which may not even have a name or definition yet. There are always bread crumbs. This change in our lives isnt just happening to us. Its happening for us. That is the bedrock premise of thriving. The caterpillar "dies" so that the butterfly can emerge. And just as in metamorphosis, there is instinctive intelligence that drives the change. Our new life is always conspiring with us, sending us signals and cues. Sometimes the next step is not an action like going public with your company. Sometimes, its letting go of an old, limiting belief. Or dying honorably to a time in your life that is passing. Or having that conversation you need to have or picking up that book you heard about. Sometimes its the decision to frankly accept where you are, even though a part of you wants to win a Nobel Peace Prize already because, well, it would be nice to have something to tell your mother. There is always a next step or focus. This is how a time of transformation takes place. You are led. You do not lead. This is the free fall and the windfall of uncertainty. You cant plan an inspired life. You cant force genius. It doesnt play by your rules. You may feel anxious, even while you are safer than youve ever been. Yet radical creativity, burning love, alchemy, invention, and the blaze of the wild divine do not fit into ordinary methodology. An extraordinary life is, by definition, not ordinary. You are walking into the grand unknown. Its scary because anything can happen. Its wonderful because, finally, anything can happen. A life of intrepid original expression requires the willingness to be birthed from within. Buy a paint-by-number set and you are guaranteed to paint a simplistic replica, but never a work of art. True change does not happen through rote execution but through an awakening, a rearrangement of your understanding and abilities. Trust me, when it comes to your real life, your time on earth, you want the work of art. The writer Ana*s Nin put it this way: "There are few human beings who receive the truth complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, like a mosaic." You might feel like you want to move faster than one fragment at a time. Good luck with that. Because groundbreaking, foundational changes do not happen in a rush. The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, the healing program that has enabled millions to do "what they could not do," is based on this simple maxim: "One day at a time." Theres reason for that. It works. A spiritual life is not one that is answered in the future. Its the life that takes place in the present, one day, one heartbeat, one filament or breakthrough at a time. You dont need to figure out your whole life at once. You dont have to know what youre doing. You dont have to know how this will all unfold. You wont know, even if you think you do. But you can do what is yours to do in the moment. Grace looked down at the river that had absorbed her symbolic offering. She said, "I am saying good-bye to the need for certain Details ISBN0143109537 Author Tama J.
