One Step At A Time

Dream More Than Others Think is Practical

Certainly NOT

Many people speak of the importance of certainty. The certainty trap is a state of holding on tightly to the trapeze bar that we spoke of last week. This is a state there is zero learning. The paradox is that it is important to hold on to the bar of your knowledge and certainty that this brings but it is equally important to let go of the bar at the right time and enter the world of uncertainty.
