I think this is a great quote and defines a bit of where I am at today in terms of this journey. My confident self loves the idea of the adventure of uncertainty. In fact, it keeps my attention. The parts of me that struggle with uncertainty and anxiety are driven to just find a solution to this uncertainty.
I acknowledge the parts of me that are anxious, fearing failure, longing for someone else to approve of me, wanting to have it all figured out. No sense in trying to get rid of these areas, they are as much a part of me as my confident self.
My confident self knows that I have what it takes and that those other parts of my ego can speak, but not direct my life. I choose to live with uncertainty and choose the adventure of this.
The S and J preferences in your ISFJ type indication may be the parts driving the anxiety. Those preferences tend to ask us to get clear facts and come to a conclusion. You're apparently at a point where you're inviting the N and P parts of yourself to play a key role in your discovery process. It's a great time to embrace the N part that tends to like keeping things open and to go on gut rather than needing the concrete facts. Enjoy the empowering feeling you get from choosing to embrace the wholeness of your Self.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nila...It is challenging to turn on the N and P. The F and J are so alive right now. I like how you said embrace the N and P.
