How do you deal with uncertainty in your in life?

I pray a lot, but most of the time, there is nothing that one can do. You just have to wait it out and try to live as much normal as possible= What I find with me the danger is in doing what you think others want you to do. For instance, I have a couple of friends who want me to get a loan or a second mortgage to fix up my basement, but they plan to retire and live in apartments, while I want to live in my house and besides with me, f I do take out a loan, I know that something worse will come up. So am trying to avoid that. I do get concerned a lot, and I do find it hard to wait for things because I get the feeling that once I did the thing - like for instance something stupid that God will say that all right, I will take the concern away. And then I get the feeling that if I had just waited, that what I wanted to happen wold never have happened. Sounds confusing, but I really do not want to specify that thing that concerned me.

I hate it! I am very sensitive to stress and unknowing what might happen or looking unforward to things coming up makes me stress big time. I used to break out in a rash and start shaking. I am on medication for it now so I don't have the horrible panic attacks I used to.

You see life is always uncertain, therefore, we should hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. We should keep in mind that anything unexpected could happen any moment and we should be prepared for it. We should understand that life is not bed of roses and we need to face it with courage.

I deal with uncertainty in life by just finding out what it is. Most of the time, though, the answers are not available for you but if you just sit back and listen, it will come straight to you. That's what I pretty much do.

It's not easy at all to deal with uncertainity. Like as you say it's unavoidable. I wait no only good and happy events in life, but also bad and sad ones. When the last ones arrive, then I should try to smile and feel well as when I experience the good events. I will need a lot of patient. Yeah, in my opinion, patient is the clue for uncertainity.

I deal with uncertainty by not dealing with it. If you just go with the flow things it sometimes works out.

I do not uncertainty in my life very much but I have to deal with it. I booked a flight to Halifax and then read up about the lovely destination in Canada. I was going to visit Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. I looked at my emails one day and was shocked to see "sorry your flight to Halifax has been canceled". The travel company closed down and the email said my money would be repaid. I felt very upset indeed and looked at the Internet to find another flight to Halifax. There wasn't anything available at all I felt so uncertain about my trip. I looked into getting a flight to Montreal but so close to departure it was very expensive and I hadn't at that time got my refund. I chose to go to Vancouver instead, somewhere that has been on my travel wish list for years. I booked my flight with British Airways. Then that airline often had strikes. I didn't want to read up about my new destination. Yet again it all felt very uncertain. With my luck on my side my trip to Vancouver did go ahead. Earlier this year I sat on a plane and wondered if it would ever depart. It sat there for two hours due to fog in Madrid. Then it arrived too late to connect to my flight on to Colombia. After much stress and upset another airline took us on to Bogota. We missed the last plane of the night so we got free overnight accommodation. When we arrived at the coast all our hold luggage had been delayed. What a stressful journey with so much uncertainty. I stayed happy thinking about how fantastic it would be if we ever got there. I travel with my 4 year old disabled son in a wheelchair and my 2 year old daughter.

Well, when I first experienced it, I had a hard time handling it but after many years, I just tell myself that life/time goes on, whether I like it or not. I've come to the conclusion to let myself go in those times and let 'the flow' decide how things will turn out in moments where I have no control. It's not always easy though but life goes on.

it is very good issue. everybody will meet uncertainty ,or unexpected things. so this issue can help us to handle them much better. I think one is justfy the feeling to prevent from sad \ serious and petrfy. and then do something in order. wish my lotter

I am the type of person who is often worried of what the future entails. Although I have a 'life for the moment' attitude, one does have the time to wander and wonder about these things. True, humans make their own future but it is also true that there are many factors that affect the a person's goals and dreams. Personally, I do get stressed about the future and i try to be distracted in order for me to focus on the now. One of my 'remedies' so to speak is planning. I try to at least create goals and list things that I want to do or have in the future. Of course, along iwth those are the ways on how to generate money in order to achieve what I want and need. No doubt that uncertainty is part of life and perhaps one of the remedies for this is the very reassuring presence of things that don't change or stay the same. Like family and friends. Even work and routine. Things like these helps us to feel grounded and distracted at the same when thinking about the future and all those possibilities. It is also a productive activity in preventing or building a foundation for the unseen.

I will not think about the uncertainties in my life. I feel it is going to completely ruin my life If i start thinking about. I live for today and tomorrow is not in my hand.

hi:) we can really avoid this kind of problems in our life,So when times like this there's nothing I can think of better thing to do than pray, I always ask God to make me stronger to face this unexpected things.I ask for guidance and leave everything to His will.

I also encountered many uncertainties in my life..and i think we cannot hide from it because it will do come to us..and i guess i am lucky that i have surpass all that uncertainties in my life with the help of people around me who was there to guide me and did not leave me alone in times of my hardships.. as long as there are people who helps you i think all of that trials in your life will just disappear..

when i encounter uncertainties in life i do pray. i would ask and read a lot of books like the bible, magazines anything that i can read to search for answers. but answers don't come easily. i just have to deal with it everyday until i get clear answers. these are just normal situation in a person's life made by God. His way of drawing us closer to His side. so everyday i talk to God and would ask for enlightenment that i may be patient and calm in dealing with this uncertainty.

Nothing can compare with the feeling of uncertainty ... when there are a number of questions immature or complex seem to grind your thoughts at random, when you start wondering if you're right or wrong if when you say the wrong and the facts looks like you're right, you try hard to do, to see the light, and you plunge deeper into the shadows of darkness, when you wonder which side is truth, and what decisions should take to get out of situation where you are. Perhaps the uncertainty starts from too much love and the fear of losing what is so important to you ... Or maybe your soul likes to indulge in this feeling of uncertainty, perhaps you give a positive charge that accompanies you from dream to reality and the way it helps to realize that love, that you care, that hurts. Or perhaps you like the unconscious that allows you to dream more than you could do it if everything would be fine and clear. Sometimes, if you look from the point of objectivity, see you polishing your loneliness, but feel you're alive ... alive. Perhaps all life is an equation of uncertainty ... or not ... can you get in one day solve the equation, you do test and then you smile ...

It took me a long time to get to the point in life that I could believe I can handle anything that happens. I was a fearful person for some periods growing up and fortunately I came to a place where I truly feel I can handle whatever I have to. God and spirituality played a big part of my developing this confidence. It's a good place to be
