Embrace Your Own Delicious Ambiguity

I love studying the lives of others and quotations they come up with to learn from them. One is from Gilda Radner, great comedienne from SNL, who went through ovarian cancer, with it being misdiagnosed, went into remission, and then came back.

She had SO MUCH frustration inside her.

BUT she taught us about AMBIGUITY. The fuzziness of life, the not knowing, the coming to acceptance when life's path goes sideways or takes unforeseen detours.

I so laugh with mentors and seminars that say to get from point A to point B do this. The zig zag line they omit, or that you MAY NEVER get to point B. God laughs at our plans. We have to shoot for something but not have 100% expectations you will land there.

Gilda especially poked fun at what could only be described as incompetent doctors who for 10 months could not even seem to get the diagnosis right. In real estate, we see transactions take all sorts of side trips and can question anyone's competence including our own some days. But this is all the human experience of ambiguity.

Watch for this haziness, this lack of clarity SOMETIMES, in you own path, and KNOW that it is normal. It may not feel real comfortable but IT IS THE CARDS we are dealt. Our job is to play our hand to the best of our ability.
