You Don’t Need Clarity to Move Forward — You Just Need to Begin

There’s this quiet pressure that creeps in during the most uncertain seasons of our lives.

It shows up when you’re at a crossroads, feeling lost, confused, burned out, or just… stuck.
It sounds like:

“I need to figure things out before I do anything.”
“I can’t make a move until I’m sure it’s the right one.”
“What if I pick the wrong path and waste time?”

We wait. We journal. We scroll. We overthink.
We tell ourselves we’re being “patient” or “strategic.”
But deep down, we’re paralyzed by one simple fear:
Making a move without having it all figured out.

Here’s the truth, most people don’t say out loud:

Clarity rarely comes before action. It comes because of it.

1. The Myth of “Knowing Before You Start”

We grow up believing that big decisions should come with big certainty.

Pick the “right” major. Choose the “right” job. Date the “right” person. Start the “right” business. Move to the “right” city.
