Here’s what he had to say: https://lnkd.in/gRQyypNr

Why does #HOPE always involve #UNCERTAINTY, and why is that a good thing? That's one of the questions I was asked as a conversant for Grateful Living's course on #gratefulhope. I was honored to speak to this fascinating community. Hope itself is inherently an uncertain enterprise - if we are nurturing hope, that means we don't know how a challenge or even a joyful moment will end. Hope is uplifting in the midst of not-knowing. Uncertainty, as well, involves a sense of possibility. But I see being unsure and being hopeful as different enterprises. Uncertainty, at its best, is a cognitive skill that allows us to dig into and comprehend what we don't know. I see hope as a beacon, and uncertainty as the cognitive skill set needed to better understand the world. Thank you, @Joe Primo and Grateful Living! For more on Grateful Living: https://grateful.org/
What a gift to be in conversation with the inimitable and brilliant Maggie Jackson this week. I love this insight from her: "If you deny uncertainty, life is cramped and brittle." Rather than deny uncertainty we can embrace it and discover wonder and possibility. And if you have a low tolerance for uncertainty, Maggie and the science encourage practice. The unease you may experience around uncertainty is actually positive stress. When we reach the thresholds of our knowledge, we grow and discover "a realm of second chances." In other words, uncertainty is not a deficit but an opportunity. Q: When is the last time you offered up a full-throated "I don't know" and experienced the delight and joy that followed your liberation from certainty? In order not to be constrained by certainty, we need to know when we don't know. If you find yourself clinging tightly to what you think you know about life and the world, I highly recommend "Uncertainty: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure" ... not to mention, its author is pure delight! https://lnkd.in/eT93-gjM
I came across this wonderful video shared by someone - Why you think you're right -- even if you're wrong? by Julia Galef (link posted in the 1st comment) This reminded me of something similar that I read in one of Darius Foroux 's blogs and I use it extensively. This is from Annie Duke's book - Thinking in Bets: - Why might my belief not be true? - What other evidence might be out there bearing on my belief? - Are there similar areas I can look toward to gauge whether similar beliefs to mine are true? - What sources of information could I have missed or minimized on the way to reaching my belief? - What are the reasons someone else could have a different belief, what’s their support, and why might they be right instead of me? - What other perspectives are there as to why things turned out the way they did? This helps us overcome our prejudices and develop a rational and unbiased approach in life.

In it, Nathaniel Branden — a pioneer in the self-esteem movement (and former romantic partner of Ayn Rand) — answers four questions: What is self-esteem? Why is it important? What can we do to raise our levels? And what role do others play in influencing our self-esteem? He also addresses six self-esteem cornerstones: the practices of living consciously, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, purposefulness and integrity. Branden outlines steps for success in each of these areas, and he cautions that the task of sustaining them falls on each individual.
Trust Yourself and Others: Trust is an essential component of healthy relationships and personal growth. Trusting yourself means believing in your abilities and decisions, having confidence in your judgment, and valuing your own opinions. While trusting others involves letting go of control, having faith in those around you, and believing in their good intentions. This mutual trust can lead to stronger, more meaningful connections, better communication, and healthier relationships.
