Evolving with Gratitude

#130 - Maybe, Maybe Not: Navigating Uncertainty & Appreciating Impermanence


Listen Later

Ever find yourself desperate to label a moment—good or bad, success or failure, right or wrong—just to feel a little more in control?

This episode will challenge that instinct.

We're unpacking one of the most powerful mindset shifts I’ve ever come across—rooted in ancient wisdom, backed by modern psychology, and grounded in something we all face: uncertainty.

You’ll hear how a simple phrase—“Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see.”—can rewire your response to the unknown, help you ride the waves of change with more peace, and keep you anchored when life feels like a lot.

We’re also diving into a surprisingly effective gratitude boost (hint: it’s not a list) and a 3-step reflection to help you find clarity when the future feels foggy.

This isn’t about toxic positivity.
It’s about perspective, presence, and progress—even when the path ahead isn’t clear.

Let’s stop labeling and start living.
Because maybe… just maybe… this moment is leading somewhere beautiful.

BTW—You can choose your adventure with this one—read the article, listen to the episode, or explore both.

And you can find the article on Thrive Global!
