Courage Over Clarity

SPEAKER_00 0:00

A deep change in the way that we live requires a deep change in the way that we think. I'm Carla Reeves, and this is differently. Hey friend, happy Thursday. I'm sitting here having a cup of coffee and excited to spend this time with you. It wasn't but a couple of years ago that I heard God say, stop trying to figure it all out. Just show up for 10 minutes, and I will reveal the next step. That's what God told me a couple of years ago after hours of trying to plan things out, map the future, and nothing seemed to be sticking. I'll be honest, lately I keep catching myself defaulting to planning before I start, wanting to have it figured out before I begin. In fact, it's been getting in the way of my consistency here with this very podcast. I believe that the current times are calling for something different from us. What if we don't need more clarity and steps, but more courage to move without them? I want you to sit with that for a moment. What if there's not more information to gain, not a better strategy to find? What if this new terrain that we're navigating is actually calling for a different version of us? What if it's calling us to show up without knowing how it's gonna go? To get in the game, to get on the court of our life with more courage than clarity. I talked about this on my episode New Terrain, New Approach, not too long ago. When the terrain of our life changes, sometimes the old ways don't work like they used to. And the our instinct might be to push harder, figure it out, double down, work harder. But sometimes it's not about effort, it's about approach. We were driving home from my husband's uncle's 85th birthday party and spending Easter with my family in California. And we picked up Shane, our youngest, um, on our way back to spend a couple weeks with him before he goes back into fire season. And I heard Kelly Roach talking about this idea of the activation era. She says that we've moved out of the information era, learning more, taking more courses, and even beyond implementation era, which was step by step, do this, do that. And she even talked about leaving hustle era, that now we're in a different kind of season that she calls an activation era, where we don't need more information, that we actually have to become someone different in order to move. And when I heard that, I thought, yeah, that's that's what I've been learning and teaching and sharing for the past 20 years, equipping individuals with tools to change your approach so that you can take the reins of your life and move with purpose, even with the landscape is changing, unfamiliar, uncertain, unsettling. Because activation is about shifting how you show up. And guess what? Writing is a powerful vehicle for helping you and me do just this. Writing is a tool that helps us to get out of our head and into our life. In fact, I was talking with one of my clients this week and he said something that I loved. He said, Writing really is a lubricant for my life. It helps clear my mind, it helps me sort things out, helps me organize my thoughts so that I can take action and create momentum in my life. So, friend, let me ask you, where in your life are you spinning your wheels, waiting for clarity, waiting to figure it all out before you make your move? And what if this is a season more of grab and go? I remember running up a trail. And when you're running up a dirt, rocky trail, you don't have time to think and plan. You have to just touch and go. You can't stand there and analyze every step. You just have to move. You have to trust your instinct and adjust as you go, go, go, and move up the mountain. It's the same thing. I think that's the skill that we need right now. And if this is resonating with where you find yourself and you're ready to stop overthinking and start moving, you're ready to build trust and confidence and momentum. I'm hosting a special pop-up event at the end of April. Details are coming soon. If you're not on my email list already, hop on over to Carlareeves.com and sign up for my email list. I'll definitely be sharing the details there. And I just want to leave you with the thought, what if for today you don't have to have it all figured out? What if you don't need the full plan? What if you just need to show up with courage and trust that the next step is going to be revealed? That's all I have today, friend. I'm thinking of you wishing you a beautiful day, and I'll see you soon.
