“The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.” This quote perfectly encapsulates the necessity of mystery in our lives. Naturally we are trying to figure out the next step or the right path forward, one that is secure and safe and yields the most known result. This obviously isn’t incorrect, if anything this appears to be the most logical approach to life. Why would anyone do anything that they are unsure of what they are getting into in the first place? Mystery creates life, certainty creates death. Death of spontaneity, death of creativity, and ultimately death of a childlike wonder that lives inside of us. In order to create life we must push ourselves into the unknown so that we can live more fully.   The story of our lives is an exciting one, filled with mystery and adventure. Maybe you feel at home like my life isn’t that remarkable, surely you can’t be talking about me…The truth is we all have been given the gift of life and thus the gift of mystery and wonder as well. We have made decisions up to this point and already weaved a beautiful story. The most important part of this topic is to understand that whatever mystery you are telling, we have the ability to affect it.  If you feel like life is mundane and boring at times, you can do something out of the ordinary and rewrite the script. If the last few chapters have seemed like you have been knocked down time and time again, that’s just the beginning of what will be an epic comeback! No matter what we do there is uncertainty, rather than look at that uncertainty as something terrifying, rather seize the opportunity to make it what you want.
