I don’t like uncertainty. Uncertainty makes me feel insecure. And when I am faced with uncertainty regarding anything that holds significant weight in my life, I feel driven to efforts to create certainty. Unfortunately, my tendency here is to prefer a negative certainty over the tolerance of a mix of negative and positive possibilities. I have often been willing to sacrifice positive potential in order to quench the anxiety. This is what I must not do. I can feel whatever I feel, but I must not act to replace ambiguous possibilities with negative certainties. That’s what self sabotaging is all about to me. I am striving instead to choose to pursue risks that will keep my world growing, instead of small, safe, and ultimately unfulfilling.
