Feeling Stuck? 5 Practical Exercises to Gain Clarity About Your Next Move

You’re ready for change, but you don’t know what that change should be.

🤯 You feel stuck between too many options—or none at all.
🤯 You keep waiting for a sign, but clarity hasn’t come.
🤯 You worry about making the “wrong” choice and regret it later.

Here’s the truth: Clarity isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you create.

📖 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105) – God doesn’t always show the whole picture, but He gives you enough light for the next step.

Why Action Creates Clarity

Most people believe they need clarity before they take action. But in reality, clarity comes from action. It’s through movement, testing, and reflecting that we begin to see the right path unfold.

Even in the Bible, when Jesus called His disciples, He didn’t give them a full roadmap. He simply said, “Follow me” (Matthew 4:19). They gained clarity by walking in faith, not by waiting for all the details to be clear first.

The same applies to you—clarity comes when you take a step forward, not when you overthink standing still.
