Embracing the Mystery: The Power of Not Knowing

There’s a power and strength in not knowing and being curious.

We live in a world that prioritizes answers. Where not knowing can feel like weakness. Where ambiguity often gets confused with not being intelligent.

But what if not knowing was a strength?

What if it was the beginning of a greater understanding?

Curiosity invites us to live in the space of mystery and possibility. It is the spark of transformation. It is the force that asks:

What is this?

What else could it be??

What have I not yet seen?

Not knowing, sitting with curiosity, is not confusion—it is a doorway.

A doorway to new questions.

To deeper listening.

To growth, humility, and connection.

To a greater wisdom.

It can be uncomfortable to stand in that space of the unknown. Often we seek conclusions, a sense of security A desire to feel right.

But when we begin from curiosity, we stop trying to control what we don’t understand. We stop treating our discomfort as a problem to fix. We allow the world—and ourselves—to be seen with fresh eyes.

Curiosity is what arises when we meet the unknown with openness and wonder.

This is the first of the five core movements of Reconsider. And it’s where we begin because it’s where all transformation begins.

With a question.

With an openness.

With a willingness to wonder.

Not knowing, when embraced, is what gives birth to discovery.

So we ask you:

What stories do you tell yourself when you don’t know the answer?

What feelings arise when you’re in the unknown?

What might shift if you stopped trying to be right—and become open to new understandings?

Curiosity is a practice. A powerful one.

And we’re honored to walk with you as we explore it together.
