When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change.

If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into aliveness, alertness and creativity.

Eckhart Tolle
