Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about clarity which is that elusive feeling of knowing exactly what your next move should be, where you’re headed, and why It’s a state of mind I think we all chase after, but it often feels just out of reach, like trying to grab smoke. I read something recently that really resonated with me as It was a personal reflection from someone else who was also in the midst of trying to figure things out. It wasn't about grand advice or a ten-step plan it was just an honest admission of being in that uncertain middle ground. And it made me feel less alone. There’s this pressure you know to always have it all together to present a version of ourselves that is confident and sure. But the truth so much of life is spent in the fog when We make decisions with incomplete information as we change our minds we second guess ourselves by seeking signs and signals from the universe hoping for a clear path to reveal itself.
But I’m starting to learn that clarity might not be a destination you arrive at once Maybe it’s not a bright, flashing light that shows you the entire road ahead
Maybe it’s quieter than that or Maybe it’s the small, almost silent realization that one option feels slightly heavier than the others, Maybe it’s the gentle pull towards a person or a project that just feels right, even if you can’t logically explain why That’s the kind of clarity I’m trying to listen for now the kind you feel in your gut, not the kind you read in a textbook.
It’s about trusting those small whispers more than the loud noise of expectation also It’s about giving myself permission to not have all the answers today, or even tomorrow as the search itself, the asking of questions and the sitting with uncertainty, that’s part of the process.
So I’m trying to be okay with the fog. I’m learning to move through it slowly, paying attention to how I feel with each small step with the big picture might still be blurry, but the next step is usually right there in front of me and for now, that might just be enough.
