· Acknowledge you do not know everything. There are the known knowns, the known unknowns, and the unknown unknowns.
· Embrace being a life-long learner.
· Accept that the way you imagine it will be, will be different.
· Find beauty in mystery, surprise, experience without translation, and the distance of time.
· Knowing the outcome before its occurrence is humanly impossible. You must accept you will never know exactly how your job, relationship, week, or day will go.
· Know you will not always have a way to describe what you want to articulate.
· You will never know the wisdom of your future self before you are there.
· You must accept that you may not know the reason for why any of this exists in your lifetime.
· Accept uncertainty as a foundation of life.
· You are an architect of your own life. Build the frame for experience to live in.
