Clarity often follows the release, not the other way round
You will never be too sure.
We wait for clarity like it’s a condition.
A sign that we’re making the right decision.
A guarantee that we won’t regret it.
A perfect green light that tells us, yes, now, you’re sure.
So we stay.
In the job that no longer fits. In the dynamic that quietly hurts. In the habit that drains. We wait for some bold knowing to arrive and make the next move obvious.
But here’s what most of us learn the hard way:
Clarity often follows the release, not the other way around.
It doesn’t always arrive before you let go.
Sometimes, it only comes after.
After you’ve stepped away.
After you’ve chosen truth over familiarity.
After you’ve said, I don’t know what’s next, but I know this isn’t it.
Clarity is often a reward for being honest enough to release what no longer serves you even before you know what will replace it.
Letting go doesn’t always feel like freedom right away.
It can feel like fog.
It can feel like grief.
It can feel like silence where noise used to be.
But in that space, something opens.
And into that opening, your real knowing begins to arrive.
Not rushed. Not demanded. Just gently, in pieces.
Like breath.
Like ease.
Like remembering.
So stop waiting for certainty to give you permission.
Let the truth that lives in your body, not just your mind, be enough.
Trust that the clarity will come.
And when it does, it’ll feel like home.
