Follow The Breadcrumbs
Most of the time, Life doesn’t serve up the clarity (the how, the steps, the new path etc.) in one go on a shiny platter.
Sometimes, we're waiting at the starting blocks, not able to move forward because we can't see all of the steps and how the whole path will play out.
The thing is - the ‘how’ (how to do this, how to achieve X, how to create Y) very rarely comes all at once. But it would be good if it did, I know my mind would love this ;)
Instead, what I find is that our next steps come in what I call “breadcrumbs”
These breadcrumbs look like -
Call this person
Pick up this book
Go to this event
Spend more time doing X
Get outside more
Most of the time the human mind dismisses these breadcrumbs as ‘not enough’ or irrelevant.
It thinks: how on earth would reading this book or spending time in nature help me see where I need to go next?⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well - we often don't know ‘how’ it will lead us to what's next. But if we're feeling the nudge to do ‘more’ of something, there's something there that we need to pay attention to.
If you can tune in, and start to get curious about the nudges and things that are coming across the path, if you can see the ‘enoughness’ in some of these small breadcrumb actions, you’ll absolutely be led to the full loaf.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So pause for a moment today:
What breadcrumbs is Life leaving for me that I need to pick up and walk forward with?
What signs am I seeing, what am I finding that internal nudge to go and do?
Be willing to take the smaller actions, because they will lead you to the bigger clarity you seek.
