On Dealing With Uncertainty

I don't have adequate words to describe, much less introduce, this topic, so I'm incredibly grateful someone with this talent would write such a great talk. It's phenomenal. We live in uncertain times, but regardless of the state of the world, merely living ensures we will always experience times of uncertainty. May I recommend this article to anyone who plans on facing the life adventure that means ample occasion when we just don't know the answers!

In some ways, at least for me, this was a little too close for comfort. Elder Hafen points out some stark realities, and many that I know I struggle with. But he has words for all of it, even if not his own. Especially comfort. "As President Harold B. Lee said, the true Church is intended not only to comfort the afflicted, but to afflict the comfortable."

Bruce C. Hafen, “On Dealing with Uncertainty,” Ensign, Aug 1979, 63–67

To ambiguity! and the many wonderful ways we're given opportunity to grow because of it!
