Uncertainty is a given. No one really knows what's going to happen but we do try and we try by collecting past experiences, to help give us a flavour of what may happen in the future.
Whilst working at a financial technology company, that sold market data software to other financial institutions, I noticed that any forecasts that were made, had a level of uncertainty to them too. Whilst progress within data collection, storage and analysis has made leaps and bounds, uncertainty still exists and it may exist as a risk score or statistical significance.
In all honesty, uncertainty scares me too. I know that for others it can be seen as an unexplored opportunity but for me, it's something that I need to prepare for. So, when faced with uncertainty in my personal life, I booked to see an astrologer because I’d always been interested in the occult and alternative viewpoints for understanding/co-existing within the world.
I had hoped that they would tell me all about what was due to come up in my life, when I would fall in love, when my business would boom, whether there were any bad things that were going to happen and what I could then do to prepare for them. Lets just say, things didn’t go quite how i imagined, I mean when do they ever?
