A position is what and how much contingency you can make sense of, and since you apparently need to have a position there are a few directions you can take. The most thoughtless would be to simply be yourself the embodiment of contingency, this is the closest to having no position, to be rather a force of nature. Generally this is most often honoured by taking the position that holds no position as an ideal, as the best position. Everyone has a position on positions. This approach, at least as a dodge, is inseparable from all the more elaborated positions. Again you can limit the field of contingency to what feels like a manageable sphere, but the limits you set are also contingent even if easier to defend, because further away. The threat here is more likely to come at you from a blind-spot, from others who occupy closely neigbouring loci, and it is inevitable. Finally you can work on making sense of more things, admitting no limits at all. Expand the realm of where you are comfortable and more importantly learn to learn from where you are not. You can be subsumed, made aware of the antinomies that you refuse to step beyond. It hurts, but is that a good or a bad thing? How many times have you admired the circuitous paths by which a dog returns to its own vomit.
