“Being at ease with not
knowing is crucial for the answers to come to you." ~Eckhart Tolle
This quote was included as part of the “uncovering your purpose” piece of C3’s Vision Retreat. I included it because although some people are very clear on what their purpose is and how to align with it, others are not. Those who are not often put lots of
pressure on themselves to “figure it out”. When we put that kind of pressure on ourselves and keep searching for the answers from the place of “needing” to know, we keep the answers at bay. What Eckhart Tolle says is you must be at ease with NOT knowing; and then answers will come to you. When you give up the “need to know” and release the resistance and anxiety about not knowing, you open yourself up to receive the answers you seek. This not only applies to your purpose in life
but anything else you are searching for an answer to; be at ease with not knowing, let it go, and trust me, the answers will come.
This week’s inspirational activity: Is there something you’ve been trying to figure out or a problem you’ve been trying to solve? Try to do
what Eckhart Tolle suggests: release it, be okay with not knowing; yet, knowing that in due time, the answers and solutions you seek will come.
