Have you ever felt anxiety not knowing what’s next? For example, many of us fear and are anxious about not knowing how to pay our bills, find the right job, or connect with a lover we can love unconditionally.

If so, rest assured that pain, discomfort, worry, fear, and anxiety are normal emotions when the untrained mind knows not how to find serenity in not knowing. As a lifelong entrepreneur, transcending the toxic emotions that overwhelm us when we don’t know what’s next has been a powerful transformation for me. That’s one reason I love writing about it, even though I make a living investing in real estate.

I’ll summarize a phenomenal book called, “The Wisdom of Not Knowing: Discovering a Life of Wonder by Embracing Uncertainty.” It’s a spiritual guidebook by psychotherapist and Jewish spiritual teacher Estelle Frankel. The book explores ancient texts, personal anecdotes, and practical insights and provides a road map for embracing the unknown as a source of wisdom and spiritual growth.

As always with my book summaries, if the topic resonates with you, you buy the book and make the most of helping yourself improve the art of human transformation.

Medium stopped paying me due to a technical problem on their end. Their support is unwilling or able to help me. So, I stopped writing. Get a grip, Medium.
