Believe it or not, even extremely successful people deal
with uncertainty. Observers of such
achievers may think that every confident successful person moves full steam
ahead, sure of himself or herself, navigating to avoid the currents of
uncertainty without a ripple. Not true! The successful person just realizes that with
each step forward uncertainty may seem overwhelming, but experience tells them
that answers will be clear, opportunities will come. They are not afraid to move out and then have
to say, “I don’t know what comes next, but I’ll find out and adapt to it.” They seek help when needed, and when counsel
is received, they acknowledge it with humility.
These successful individuals measure success by the
scoreboard, not by the playbook. A
winning coach enters each game with a plan, but is willing to change plans
during the game in order to win. A wise
person once said, “Write your Vision in ink, but pencil in your Plans.” Course correction mid-stream, meeting
uncertainty head-on, is often necessary to reach one’s envisioned destination.
