“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”—Mary Oliver, A Summer Day
Your life is speaking to you because it wants to speak through you.
And, you’ve been dodging the call.
You don’t have a motivation problem. You have a commitment problem.
Before you get defensive, here’s what I mean. You care. You care enough to notice what’s off, imagine something better, and feel frustrated that you’re not doing more about it.
That caring is real. It’s also not enough.
Caring without commitment is how good people end up stuck—consuming more advice, polishing their readiness, quietly bleeding out their best energy on other people’s “shoulds.”
You know the situation. You’re living it.
You know you’re called to make a difference, but you’re weighed down by options. You’re carrying a quiet fear that you’re not qualified. You keep preparing instead of practicing.
So you research. You plan. You try to get it right before you risk getting it wrong.
It looks like progress. It isn’t. It’s the seductive form of refusal.
This is that moment in your hero’s journey—the call arrives, and you try to make it go away. You bargain, delay, and distract. You tell yourself a safer story—one with more certainty and zero risk.
My new book, INTREPID: Dare to Make a Difference, is here to help you stop refusing to heed what life is calling you to do.
Not by shaming. Not by motivating. Not by giving you another system to hide behind.
By asking better questions.
INTREPID launches March 20th.
