There are two ways to organize situations where we unclear. We can move forward through opinions. Opinions are assumptions. They seductively give us an instant and persistent sense of certainty at the expense of curiosity and the space of new options that opens up with curiosity. If our uncertainty threshold is low, we try to stay in a certainty zone as much as possible.
The alternative option to certainty is clarity. Clarity is being clear on our questions, centered in the core questions about our knowns, unknowns, interests, and options. Clarity is clarity on and from our questions.
In clarity, we have opinions. We use them to inspire and shape new questions. This keeps us realistic and resilient as we organize the chaos.
