There Is No ‘Right’ Next Step… And Yes, You Have Blindspots! So What?

In episode 771 of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I speak to the quiet anxiety that so many high-functioning people carry:

The belief that if they could just identify the next right step, everything would finally click into place.

And when they do feel clarity?

It’s often immediately followed by doubt:

“Am I missing something? Is there a blindspot I can’t see?”

Here’s the truth:

People chase the “next right step” as if there’s a divine maze they might accidentally mess up.

But there is no cosmic scoring system determining whether your next move is “correct.”

There is only resonance.

Alignment is something to feel, not something to outsource or validate through other people’s opinions.

What if your felt sense of aliveness was the map?

What if trusting yourself was the clearest confirmation you’ll ever receive?

Yes, you have blindspots. We all do.

But living in fear of what you don’t know is a subtle form of self-abandonment.

Because when someone says, “I’m just wondering if I have blindspots…” what they’re often asking is:

“Will someone please give me a reason not to trust what feels alive in me?”

But the presence of unknowns doesn’t invalidate your clarity.

It just means you’re human... walking by trust, not control.

This conversation is a reminder:

You don’t need certainty to move forward. You just need permission to trust what’s alive in you now.

With you on the journey,

Cliff
