Do you ever have the desire to know for certain how things will turn out in life? Maybe you want to know in advance what kinds of careers your children will have when they grow up. Or you might want to be sure you will succeed before you play a game or start a project or take any sort of risk. When you were young you might have loved listening to fairy tales which ended with everyone living happily ever after. Even before the story was over you knew that everything would be alright. Have you ever thought, if I can just know for sure the outcome of this life situation I will be able to relax?
In challenging times our minds can become worried and anxious. In order to feel safe, we try to calm ourselves by predicting and controlling the outcomes of our lives. Instead of reading an entire story page by page we want to skip to the last chapter. Some of us visit astrologers and psychics in the hope that they can tell us the future. We don’t want to be surprised by life. We want certainty and reassurance that life will turn out just as we want it to be. It seems like having a crystal ball would make our existence so much better.
But would it, really? Would knowing the end of the story really make us happier, more joyful? In this video, Sadhguru shares with us how to live with an attitude of curiosity, wonder and discovery and enjoy the mysterious and suspenseful journey that is our lives.
