How to Reach a NEW LEVEL in Life?

The best state a person can experience in terms of growth and genuine expansion is the state of living a full and harmonious life. This state is characterized by one’s ability to make consistently right decisions and to act based on personal inner impulses. A person in this state lives in freedom. Moreover, you yourself are in a state of freedom.

This is the state of uncertainty. Let’s take a closer look at what this state really is. It’s very important—not just so that you can make better decisions, but so your life can exist in balance with real growth and expansion.

Everyone wants to know what’s coming ahead and wants to make the right choices. In essence, people believe that if they make the right decision, they’ve overcome uncertainty. Because if I know what I’m going to do right now, then I also know what’s going to happen in the future.

Some say, “Let’s first sort out all the social aspects of life, get an apartment, make a bit more money—and then we’ll have kids.”

Others say, “I’ll work for a few more years at this job that’s unbearable to be in. And then I’ll finally choose what I truly want to do, something that aligns with my life strategy. I know for sure that’s how it’ll happen.”

Another might say, “I’ll start from the bottom now, but one day I’ll earn a lot of money. And to get a good job, I need a good education. And to get a good education, I must suffer in childhood.”

People draw endless conclusions like this. They call it the state of “knowing.” Essentially, a person wants to be a prophet, to live in a world where every event is predictable and the future is fully visible.

At the same time, people are absolutely, totally convinced of the decisions they make every day—because they’re the ones making them. No matter what anyone says, those decisions are made by the individual themselves. The reasons behind those decisions are another matter altogether.

So, on one hand, people want the mystical ability to prophesy—to have prophetic insight into what’s to come. They know they don’t have it now. But on the other hand, they make decisions while telling themselves, “I already am a prophet.”

And very often, people are stuck in this state: they think the past was full of problems, but the future will definitely be bright. And that what they’re doing now is the direct path to that better future. But this creates intense inner confusion.

Some say: “I used to be poor. Look at me now—I make a lot of money.” Or: “I used to be unhappy. Now look—I’m happy.”

Then there are others. Finding themselves in a difficult place, they say, “I used to think happiness was in having a big social circle and a lot of friends. Now I understand that’s not happiness—I need to be alone for a while.” People draw all sorts of different conclusions.

But the important thing is this: look at yourself. What state are you in when making decisions? Are you living in an illusion, chasing the desire to know more and gain mystical clarity?

And at the same time, do you believe that the decisions you're making are absolutely the right ones? Some may feel deeply unsure of themselves and clearly recognize they live in illusion. But typically, most people are convinced their decisions are right—because they’re not making them from a place of broad perception. They’re constantly in a state of insecurity. And insecurity creates complete imbalance in decision-making.

It’s remarkable. If you believe that you’ve been an insecure person your whole life, then at the very least allow yourself to consider that most of your decisions have been illusory and not real.

So what do we do with all this? What state should we be observing? What should we do first, so we don’t stay stuck in extremes?

The state of uncertainty we’re talking about means understanding that the life you lived 10, 20, or 30 years ago wasn’t good or bad. It just was.

It’s a state where you don’t approach the future with the idea that you either know nothing or everything. You recognize that some events will happen, others won’t—and you relate to that objectively and realistically.

Uncertainty shows up when you work on a task with full energy and genuine desire, while simultaneously understanding that this task, this effort, this family, this career, or relationship will eventually come to an end. That’s inevitable.

Uncertainty means recognizing that the decisions you’re making in the present moment are informed by your past, your present, and your future.

The more you are in this state of “not knowing,” the more fully you perceive life—and the more expansive and rich it becomes. In this state, you don’t feel absolute confidence in tomorrow. But at the same time, you feel a certain steadiness, a groundedness in life and emotional calm. You feel peace about what might come next, even though that’s different from confidence in the future.

👤In 2013, I set a goal—to improve my relationship with my wife. Three months later, I concluded that the goal had been met, as if “improvement” were a box to check off. But life is constant change: states shift, sometimes better, sometimes worse. I don’t devalue that result—it was a meaningful milestone in my development and growth at that time. But I treated it then as a kind of achievement, a short-term goal. I’m grateful I didn’t stay at that stage, and that my love for my wife has grown deeper. It’s a love that needs no values or behavior models—it simply is.This is an important experience, because short-term goals only offer two positions: either the task is done or not done. But a relationship with your spouse grows throughout your whole life. You can’t think of it as a one-and-done goal.This method of self-diagnosis, self-reflection, analysis, and observation allows you to grow not just through short-term wins but long-term development.In the 21st century, society has forgotten that growth and expansion must happen daily and across an entire lifetime.

It’s surprising that even now, there are still false constructs. Many people think “development” means just reading books, accumulating knowledge, and constantly learning something new. But lifelong growth and expansion isn’t about constant intake of new information—it’s not about careers, social media, or the news.You can avoid all of that—never follow the news, live a hermit’s life—and still be deeply growing and expanding.

Above all, growth is about developing yourself as a person. And it’s important to recognize that the only person you can truly develop is yourself—not others. That’s not egoism. It’s an understanding that you are the central object of your own evolution.

You must constantly ask yourself: What am I doing? What decisions am I making? How do I feel? Where am I? What am I hearing?

That is the true state of uncertainty—a state merged with real growth and lifelong expansion.

But society has completely forgotten this. We live in an endless stream of conflict, illusion, fear, and doubt.

👤A few years ago, I was running a company that was part of a larger holding. My team had over 500 people, and across the holding structures and stakeholders, thousands of employees and instructors. In board meetings, I would constantly ask: Is it possible to work with top managers from a place of joy in the present moment, with a sense that the goal is already fulfilled right now? At the same time, in business, there’s always a drive for expansion and growth.We needed to scale significantly—but not from the belief that some bright future would arrive in a few years. That future might never come. So why suffer endlessly while waiting for it? That question remained unanswered. And many people still keep endlessly waiting for that “better tomorrow.”

In business and entrepreneurship circles, there’s a common idea that people work best when they’re chasing a “carrot”—a goal always dangling in front of them. Many have heard that metaphor: the carrot never stands still—it’s always moving forward, just like life.The standard advice is: keep setting new goals, keep chasing new motivations.

But there are people who work better when life is already good. They’re more effective when the plan is done, when the team is in harmony, when no one is pushing empty promises of happiness in 5 or 10 years.These people do their best work when they’re living in a state of overall well-being. Sure, there are those who don’t like to work and need external motivation—but that’s a different topic.

Unfortunately, society has twisted this whole framework. People have forgotten what’s really happening. Many just don’t want to take personal responsibility. If you look at online comments—especially on YouTube—you’ll see countless people living in fear and indifference. They don’t see reality as it truly is.

But every one of us has the opportunity to change course—to move forward differently.You have the ability to reach a completely new level of growth and expansion.To step into a life that you can’t yet even imagine.
