Road maps and GPS give clear directions on what to do.

Instructions on food labels are usually pretty clear as well.

Expectations of school are mandated by a government agency and also, hopefully, the teacher.

As for the rest of life – nothing is clear.

Work, relationships, parenting, health, direction, spirituality, purpose…

None of those come with clear directions.

They also don’t come with clear indicators on your progress.

What are you to do?

Measure yourself up against others, which never works, or forget a path and have the courage to walk into uncertainty.
