Sacred Sunday | Send Me

There was a time when I spent a great deal of energy wondering whether I was making the right decision.

The right path.

The right opportunity.

The right next step.

I wanted certainty.

A sign.

A guarantee.

Life rarely offers that kind of clarity.

Not in advance.

Only in hindsight.

And even then, not always.

At some point, every path requires the same thing.

A decision.

Not because we know.

Because we don't.

We choose.

Then we live.

Then we learn.

Not through certainty.

Through participation.

We are taught to believe that confidence comes first.

That once we know enough, understand enough, prepare enough, the fear will disappear and the path will become obvious.

But in my experience, clarity often follows movement.

Not the other way around.

A conversation.

A trip.

A relationship.

A business.

A book.

A decision made without guarantees.

Looking back, some of the most important moments of my life were not moments of certainty.

They were moments of willingness.

A willingness to step forward without knowing how the story would end.

A willingness to trust what I could not yet see.

At this point in my life - I don’t ask: 

"How do I know this will work?"

I ask:

"Does this feel true enough to take the next step?"

Certainty is not the price of admission.

Only participation and willingness.
