It can feel overwhelming to contemplate transforming your life in some way – like a new job, or family situation, or health habits – or rediscovering the identity you seem to have lost somewhere along your path. So much so that you put it off, you hem and haw, you distract yourself with a million other things that now conveniently must get done before you can get down to business.
Let me stop you right there. You are playing a mind game that you cannot win when you do this. You don’t have to know everything right now. You don’t have to create a roadmap with every single step perfectly planned and orchestrated to get you where you think you want to go. You just don’t. In fact, you are preventing yourself from experiencing potentially life changing happy accidents when you leave no room for them in an airtight plan.
You don’t control the universe. You don’t have to. Put it down. That is a heavy burden. Just take the next best step that feels right. It’s all you have to do. The rest will begin to fall into place as you move forward. Trust that.
