Truth be told, my reaction to uncertainty these days is quite different from before. You see, 3 years ago, my attitude was similar to The Dude's outlook in life. You know - keeping it simple, don't rush, just take it easy...which was actually good. It kept me away from the black hole of paranoia and/or manic depression. These days however, my reaction to uncertainty is akin to Hannover weather...which, I have to say is quite similar to dark and gloomy Hogwarts weather. What is going on? I have to snap out of this...fast!
So I thought a good way to keep myself away from the black hole is to write down all the things that I know to be certain. So here goes:
Certainty#1: That I have been able to take care of my parents no matter what my situation is.
Certainty#2: That I am a good person with good qualifications and competencies.
Certainty#3: That I have a wonderful guy that I know will help me no matter what.
Certainty#4: That I have great friends that will always be there to support, when needed.
Certainty#5: That my plans this year will still happen without any risks.
Certainty#6: That my vacation to Helsinki will be awesome! :-)
I can now stop with number 6, really. Because if you look at it, I really do have enough certainty that would sustain me... even more than what The Dude had.
And for the things that are uncertain -- well -- they're not real yet. So why bother?
