Page 126 keyword uncertainty We need to accept an even celebrate what we don't know or that we don't know. We must embrace uncertainty in order to feel more comfortable in its presence. Then, once we feel comfortable with our ignorance, we are better prepared to reconstruct our discomfort with the unknown into a sense of all and wonder. It is about relearning to perceive the world - our lives - as a miracle unfolding.

In the book
Begin with your body and your bearing. Standing up straight, shoulders back, will not solve the whole problem, but it is a real beginning — it is how you start taking the chaos in hand instead of being taken by it. Get comfortable not knowing. Make peace with being unsure; accept, and even celebrate, what you do not and cannot know, because only by making peace with uncertainty do you stop being ruled by it. Change and uncertainty are permanent features of the flight, and emotional resilience — the steadiness to adapt and keep your composure — is what carries you through them. — Takeoff Into Chaos
