What if not knowing is the point?

We often chase certainty about our future; our careers, passions, and even happiness, but research shows we’re terrible at predicting what will make us happy or who we’ll become. Our tastes, goals, and even identities shift more than we expect, and that’s not a flaw. What if not knowing is the point? When you treat life like an experiment instead of a fixed plan, failure becomes a valuable source of feedback, and curiosity becomes your guiding compass. You stop forcing a perfect future and start discovering who you are, one evolving interest at a time. Uncertainty isn’t the problem; it’s where all the possibility lives.
