There is a question lingering in your head. That question you wish you knew answer to, but are afraid to get out of your head and ask. Every time you think of it, it makes you somehow uneasy.
Deep down, you might already know the answer. So you avoid, suppress or postpone finding out. Cause you risk that reality of the answer will shatter you.
Know this: 'No' is better than unknown
Negative answer is better than being left in the dark
Facing the truth is better than staying in denial
A crushed dream is better than false hope
Sometimes, we rather choose uncertainty. Cause uncertainty carries open possibilities. It means there is a chance of an outcome we're hoping for. However, this kind of hope is dressed in fear.
What will finally bring you peace lies in the aftermath of clarity. Allow it to hit you.
One action to deal with the unknown
Which question are you most scared to find the real answer to? Go ask, even if clarity might burn you.
Set a deadline. Give yourself space if needed, but not too far ahead. Say, 'I will get a clear answer to [question] by the end of this/next month.' Then, dare to ask.
