Tony Robbins once said, “The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably deal with.”

Indeed, your unwillingness to confront difficult emotions is the primary barrier stopping you from everything you want in life.

No matter what you do or achieve in life, there is a path to get there. However, it will be unclear and hazy. It will be outside of your comfort zone and give rise to a whole heap of uncomfortable emotions.

Hence, you will need to forget about how you feel in the moment in order to walk it.

This article is intended to give you the confidence to just that.

Here we go.

You Can Only Connect the Dots Looking Backwards

Most people want certainty before they act. They want to know that what they’re pursuing is a sure thing or they don’t do it.

However, you cannot connect the dots looking forward. You cannot map out exactly how things will go before you do it. Instead, it’s only once you step out of the trees and see the forest that the dots begin to take on any meaning.
