10. Trust the Unknown

So, on the first day of PRAXIS this year, our special address was the actress, Richa Chadda. In her speech there was a keynote which in am mentioning is “Trusting the Unknown.”

What is unknown? Unknown is the series of factors that you cannot predict whether they will be in your favor or your against. Everyone of us has a relationship with an unknown. How we build relationship with unknown? What it takes is courage. Courage is according to her is mix of fear and excitement. When you trust the unknown, the unknown also starts to reciprocate. So, basically it’s all about not keep doing only which you are doing for your living. Just do what you believe in or you want to do other than what you are doing.

To do something different and new, you have to trust the unknown process which will come in your path. If you want to explore every aspect of your life, you have to trust the unknown.

She also mentioned about fear which we humans do have. Fear of fire, these kinds of fear are the real fear as they exist to protect us. Critical overthinking holds us back. The biggest fear which we all have is the fear of being judged. Being judged by the society. “sabse bada rog kya kahenge log”, she said.

When we replace fear with curiosity, we learn to trust the process. We learn to become the better versions of ourselves. Trust is building the economy. As we are letting the unknown people to live in our flats as renters. Brands are gaining profits on trust.

So the main point is we need to trust the unknown in almost every aspect our life to explore, to go ahead, to grow.
