You’ve done the pro/con lists.
The journaling.
The overthinking.
The asking for signs.
You’ve waited for clarity. For certainty. For the feeling of knowing.
And yet—you're still here.
Circling. Questioning. Hoping the answer will become obvious.
You tell yourself you’re being wise.
Patient. Strategic.
But deep down, you know what this really is:
Avoidance.
The Trap: You confuse waiting with safety.
If you act too soon, you might regret it.
If you choose wrong, you might disappoint someone.
If you move forward, you might not be able to go back.
So you stay still.
You wait.
You tell yourself you’re not ready yet.
But here’s the truth:
You’re not waiting for clarity. You’re avoiding responsibility for what happens next.
And in the process, you’re outsourcing your life to time, circumstance, or someone else’s approval.
The Shift: Clarity doesn’t come before the decision. It comes through it.
You think you’re stuck because you don’t have the answer.
But what you’re really lacking is permission.
The permission to:
Move before it’s perfect
Change your mind if needed
Decide, and trust yourself to handle what follows
Readiness isn’t a feeling.
It’s a decision.
And your life can’t move forward until you do.
Try This:
Think about one decision you’ve been avoiding. Then ask:
“What would I choose if I knew either outcome would grow me?”
“What has the waiting already cost me—emotionally, energetically, spiritually?”
“What would I choose if I trusted myself to course-correct?”
Write your answer.
And let that be your starting point.
Even a small move is a declaration:
I’m no longer waiting for permission to become myself.
