Don’t most of us feel safer, more secure, more at ease, when we feel like we know what we’re doing? It’s called the comfort zone, and as many of us know by now, that ain’t where growth is happening. But I think this interesting phenomenon occurs when we’ve been on a path of self growth for a while – we’ve been through the dark night of the soul, taken up the warrior’s sword and slayed our demons. We’ve danced with our shadow, read the books, done the therapy, taken the classes, integrated the lessons – and so we’re supposed to get to a point where we always know what we’re doing, right? Or not.

The path of self growth by it’s very nature requires us to head toward the unknown – and the path of being human by it’s very nature means we don’t know everything. And so those two combined mean that if we’re truly on a path of self growth, we’re often going to feel like we have knew idea what we’re doing.

So maybe, just maybe, we could embrace it? Throw our hands up in the air from time to time and just admit “I have no idea what the heck I’m doing!” Maybe we can move away from needing to know everything all the time, and instead find that place of sweet vulnerability, dancing and laughing and playing in the freedom that comes from having no idea what the sweet holy goodness you’re doing. Who’s with me?
