Theme: Tangential Thoughts

Tangentiality is an irregularity arising in a thinking process that causes an individual to relate detail that never reaches an end point. Such a mental process occurs when links between the prior and next concepts weaken, bringing a tinge of adventure into one's routine-stricken life.

Since your ideas and thoughts generate what you experience, your life becomes a reflection of your internal processes.

Certainty can be comfortable while demanding little from us, but clinging to it limits our future, stifles potential, shrinks opportunity and precludes us from ever realizing just how much we're capable of doing. Uncertainty can ultimately enrich your life, or diminish it. Embrace it.
