Episode 3804: Allison Carmen explores how embracing the idea of "maybe" can help us shift from fear-based beliefs to a state of openness and eventual faith. Through her story of Joe, a man gripped by job insecurity, she shows how the practice of “maybe” can ease anxiety, reframe uncertainty, and foster emotional resilience in uncertain times. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/having-faith-in-maybe-2/ Quotes to ponder: "Belief clings, faith lets go." "Beliefs try to make a known out of the unknown. They make presumptions about what is yet to come, how it will be, what it will mean, and how it will affect us." "’Maybe’ creates a kind of cognitive faith that can help us get us through an unexpected situation."
