When the Future Isn't Clear
I've learned that the future doesn't always arrive with a clear outline.
Sometimes it comes blurred. Undefined. Quiet.
Not as a plan, but as a feeling — that something is forming, even if I can't name it yet.
There have been seasons where I waited for certainty before moving forward. I wanted confirmation, direction, and assurance all at once. But life doesn't usually work that way. Most of the time, clarity comes after motion, not before it.
The Mistaken Idea of Perfect Vision
I used to believe vision meant seeing far ahead.
A full picture. A complete roadmap. A destination clearly marked.
But I'm realizing that kind of vision is rare — and maybe unnecessary.
Real vision often looks smaller. It shows up as a nudge. A conviction. A quiet refusal to stay where I am. It's less about knowing where I'll end up and more about knowing who I refuse to become along the way.
Faith as Forward Motion
Faith doesn't remove the fog.
It teaches me how to walk through it.
There's a kind of trust required when the future feels undefined — not blind optimism, but steady movement rooted in belief that each step matters, even when the horizon stays hidden.
I'm learning that waiting for perfect clarity can become a way of avoiding responsibility. Vision doesn't demand certainty — it invites courage.
Choosing Direction Over Comfort
Staying still can feel safe.
But comfort has a way of quietly shrinking the future.
Choosing direction, even imperfectly, keeps the story moving. It allows growth, correction, and learning to happen in real time instead of theory. I'd rather take a step that teaches me something than wait forever for a step that feels flawless.
Trusting That the Fog Will Lift
I don't know exactly what tomorrow looks like yet.
But I know this: fog doesn't mean I'm lost. It means I'm moving.
And movement, paired with faith and intention, has a way of bringing clarity when the time is right.
For now, it's enough to keep walking — eyes open, heart steady, trusting that vision doesn't disappear in uncertainty.
It simply reveals itself in stages.
