#Uncertainty December 1

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

In December 2025, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Rewind Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we’ll rewind, review, reflect or—in my case—re-blog one of my nearly 4,000 posts that highlight experiences shaping us into better versions of ourselves. If you don’t have a blog, your reflections can come from a journal or even a meaningful memory tied to something learned, a goal reached, or a personal effort to improve. These daily habits of looking back will serve as a powerful springboard for taking on a new and ambitious challenge in 2026. Today my rewind is on UNCERTAINTY.

Back on February 27, 2020, I wrote about the important role that uncertainty can play, especially when it comes to large financial investing decisions. Here is a link to that post. It highlights when we don’t know what the best decision is there are some steps, we can take to diminish that emotion.

Rewind-30 Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing a rewind, review, or reflection during the month of December

1. Rewind, review, or reflect on a past effort to improve, a lesson you learned, or a goal you accomplished.
2. Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge

December 1-Rewind Takeaway

Dealing with UNCERTAINITY all comes back to how much can you learn about things you don’t know. Investing, health, and leadership all require decisions.

When we spend time learning it helps us make good decisions. Studying problems helps minimize our UNCERTAINITY which reduces our fear. Decisions made out of fear are not the way we should approach our lives.

Titus, the Roman Emperor said:

“We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them”
