Really enjoyed this. I’ve found that some of the most meaningful opportunities came when I stopped waiting for certainty and simply moved forward. Thanks for the thoughtful reminder.

Thanks for commenting, Beatrice. You're exactly right: it's about no longer waiting for -- or accepting -- certainty that can allow us move forward and explore greater opportunities to be found amidst the uncertainty.
