When you don't know what to do

"When you don't know what to do - do nothing."

This was the advice that made me take a sigh of relief in a moment when I felt confused, overwhelmed, and couldn't see a path forward. I was swimming in so many different options my mind was offering me. Instead of clarity I felt uncertainty, confusion, and urgency to make a decision. 

Making a decision from a state of urgency and pressure is not wise. What is wise it to take time and let the dust settle and wait until one choice starts feeling like the right choice.

​When there is a pull, clarity, and calm towards one specific path, that's when it's time to take action.
