The future is no more uncertain than the present.

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

Summary

This quote suggests that while the future is often seen as unpredictable or unknown, it is really no different from the present in terms of certainty. It implies that both the future and the present hold a certain level of uncertainty and the perception of uncertainty in the future may be exaggerated. It encourages individuals to embrace the uncertainties and challenges of the present moment, understanding that the future is no more unpredictable than what is happening right now.

No one else has access to the world you carry around within yourself; you are its custodian and entrance. No one else can see the world the way you see it.

When you compare yourself to others, you are inviting envy into your consciousness; it can be a dangerous and destructive guest.
