Our brains are naturally uncomfortable with uncertainty, and what we don't understand makes us feel lost and insecure. But our life itself is a continuous process towards the unknown, uncertainty is part of life, and we can only acknowledge, accept and get used to it. If you want to benefit from uncertainty, there is also a way, that is, active rational trial and error.
Undertake the topic of change and unchanging, the eternal unchanging is change, let us with a more open mind in 2021, embrace change, burst into new momentum!!!
