Day 17: I dont know!

Today I'll be totally honest and just say... I don't know!

I had good intentions on writing a post about kindness, and the I found a quote on silence that really resonated with me that I wanted to share! Then I found a really awesome funny joke type meme that I thought would bring through the theme of positivity in this Advent calendar journey in a different way.. all this within the first hour of waking up at 5am this morning!!!

And yet, here I sit at 23:42 just about finishing up and typing this post.. all about the theme of "I don't know!"... it's crazy how often we all think and believe that we have to have this life thing figured out! That we are a failure or loser if we don't know things or where we're going or what's happening next. Granted, if that's your constant state of being, it can border on the more adventurous dangerous side of living, but if it works for you, then that's super wonder... but on the other hand, if you're like the vast majority of people out there, who have been made to believe that we have to have all our s%$# figured out, then I'm here to say and remind you, that it's okay to NOT know!

I may be saying this more for myself... as I find myself in a massive transformative phase in my life where almost every aspect of my life is in change. I used to dread questions and enquiries about what next, or what will I be doing, and more recently, I've become comfortable with actually just being honest and feeling liberated by responded "I don't know" to these questions...

I read this quote earlier today that links beautifully with this theme:

Life has taught me, I am not always in control. Life is full of experiences, lessons, heartbreak and pain. But, it has also shown me love, beauty, possibility, and new beginnings. Embrace it all. It makes us who we are, and after every storm comes a clear sky."

What a beautiful reminder that it truly is okay to just not know! 

So today, I remind you that sometimes, it's truly fine and okay to not know... and if the next time you chat to someone who asks you a question you're not sure of the answer, simply retort, "I don't know!" and let me know how it goes!

As always, I thank you for reading this, sharing this, like this and commenting on this. If I even have the opportunity to make one person feel a bit more seen, heard, understood or just like it's truly okay to just be you, then I feel like I've accomplished my goal!

Have fun owning your not knowingness! I certainly am...

Till tomorrow then, 

For the love of wisdom always, Poonam
