When you don’t know what you want, options crowd in and almost any of them can look good enough. That’s the trap: “You only take what you don’t want when you don’t know what you really want.” The clearer you are about who you are, the fewer options genuinely fit — and the easier it is to choose well.

Innocent learned this the hard way. He had many paths open, settled on the one his heart wanted, and then life took that choice away. Searching for another, he found a right path and took it. Even there, options kept appearing — some to strengthen the path, some to knock him off it.

So the work isn’t collecting more options; it’s knowing yourself. Keep learning who you are and who you want to be, and the options that come and go lose their power to pull you off course.
