Each time you can awaken yourself from a self-produced nightmare and pull the curtains closed on its performance, you will reclaim your natural confidence and calm.

In this short talk, Guy Finley explains that the state being uncertain is not a problem to our true nature. Instead it is a path that will lead to true certainty if we will keep walking to the very end.
