Looking for the answer.

I experience a lot of people looking for The Answer.

I can see them right now, shaking their heads in mild defeat, “I just don’t know what the answer is.” Shrugging, leaving it at that, shelving it so they don’t have to delve into a place of discomfort.

They aren’t happy, but they’ll wait for the answer.

Sometimes the answer does arrive.

And sometimes they wait for years and years, decades even, holding out for the perfect scenario, the right conditions, the fairy-godmother…And yes, sometimes those appear too. 

But imagine all the time there is to gain if we stopped thinking about “The” answer as an elusive entity waiting to be caught, to deliver us our more functional life.

What if there are a whole bunch of smaller answers–clues, hints, breadcrumbs–all around you, right now.

Perfectionism is a progress killer; it gets in the way. Maybe instead of one grand and perfect answer, there are a bunch of messy ones…obscure and not so grand, but equally important. Maybe you hold yourself back, using “The” answer as an excuse.

What if you learned to say, “I don’t have the answer, but one possibility might be…” and then see where it takes you. 

Then “looking for the answer” while waiting around in stagnancy transforms to an adventure, an exploration, a life experiment. 

Answers enter through the doorway of movement, momentum, curiosity. 

Answers are rarely a waiting game. 

Much Love,
