Tolerate the Unknown

Waypoint Message

It’s normal to want answers, certainty, and control. But life doesn’t always give us a clear path. Tolerating the unknown means staying steady even when things feel unsure. It doesn’t mean you have to like uncertainty, it just means you can handle it. Practice letting go of things you can't control and focusing on the things you can. Bravery isn’t about knowing what’s next. It’s about showing up even when you don’t.

Success Strategies

1. Name the Feeling
Say: “This is uncertainty. I don’t have all the answers, and that’s okay for now.”

2. Use the Anchor Phrase
Repeat: “I can’t see the whole path, but I can take the next step.”

3. Focus on What Is Certain
List three things you do know or trust right now (like “I have support,” “I’ve handled hard things before”).
