How Uncertainty is Changing the World
According to Meridith, Uncertainty is negatively affecting businesses and individuals. This is happening on a global scale already, even before the pandemic.
“I call uncertainty change on steroids. You know that change is coming, but you don’t know what it’s going to be and how it’s going to impact you and your organization,” – Meridith Elliot Powell
Meridith says that it’s hard to forge a path when you don’t know what lies ahead. Businesses are afraid to take on an endeavor because they aren’t sure where the path leads.
The country’s economic status and the highly volatile stock market are just some of the factors why businesses are afraid to forge on. Individuals are afraid to leave their current job because they are unsure whether they’ll be accepted into a new job.
How to Turn Uncertainty into Certainties
Meridith says that to overcome uncertainties, we choose what we can control. If we can focus on something that we can control in a fluctuating environment, there is a glimmer of hope that we are no longer highly uncertain.
Another way to change uncertainty is to take action. Moving forward causes the path to clear, so to speak. Meridith encourages people to do what she did, and turn her life around by taking action.
Lastly, having a mission or daily objectives can help one take charge of their business. Living day to day and tackling one obstacle at a time can help change your perspective. Ultimately, all the uncertainties that a business or an individual is experiencing will turn into certainties.
