Thanks Kevin. This resonates as I'm "stepping into the big unknown" and currently embarking on a tiny home living journey. I'm completely out of my comfort zone. I have stickies all over my house (my very big/normal house which I'm moving out of) reminding me : "Trust," "Faith" "Flow" and that Wayne Dwyer classic: "When we change the way we look at something, the thing we look at changes." 😊
‘Life brings us the situations and people necessary to help us unlock more and more of our potential so we can express it.’ Thanks for being one of those people Kevin. I appreciate you! ❤️
Kevin, thanks for writing this and also hosting the free class today. I am printing this post out and sticking it on my wall as a daily reminder. I already know and apply many things that you've shared, and I still forget and slide back into the old, default patterns again and again and again. What resonates with me the most is the concept of "The Pathless Path". Such joy and fun to be human! 😇
I especially like the call-out about explorer versus seeker. It is how I would approach career coaching. When we explore I don’t know what we might find.
Kevin, this is great! I feel I've been in this space, the wilderness, for a long while now. For a control freak like me, it's been frightening and overwhelming at times, but incredibly freeing ...
It's fascinating how people in the Bible responded to a nudge from the Lord, steppe out not knowing where they were going and hung onto every whisper or sign from the Lord. But often strayed, seeking to take control back. And that's the point isn't it, to let go of control, which takes faith and courage.
Thank you for this. I'm of the opinion that not knowing your path is actually the permanent reality of things. That it's only when we're in those states of mind and awareness when we vividly know and feel this truth that we really grok our situation. That whenever we have a sense of knowing the path we're walking -- I mean knowing it ahead, thinking we can see where it's going -- we are actually identifying with a mental projection and therefore inhabiting to some degree a state of delusion. That willingly and openly embracing this "ignorance" by inhabiting the present moment and understanding that we can only really know the single step we need to take right now, while the path ahead remains shrouded in shadows (not least because only this present moment is really real), is the only way that our path is revealed. That our path only ever arrives one step at a time and can only be recognized in reverse, in retrospect. I have come to refer to this approach/attitude as living into the dark.
This post was a breath of fresh air. I know my current path is not the one for me, and I've been struggling for many months with questions and doubts, asking myself what to do instead, what is the alternative, what I want to do.. And all of this has left me doubtful and lost. Simply reading "you are simply where you need to be" made me think that I don't need all the answer, that I should be grateful I trusted myself enough to start asking the questions in the first place, and everything will come by living and one step at a time. It's comforting to know that I don't need to have it all figured out now.

I can't wait to hear where your adventure leads you. Others talk, but you're actually doing it. That says everything.
😊 Thanks Kevin. My rapidly greying hair says everything! 🤪😊
This is brilliant and mirrors much of what I’ve come to learn with such clarity. You have a rare gift.
The insight about how we are always trusting ourselves even when putting trust in what others say, just on an unconscious level — wow 🔥
Thank you, sir. I'm glad it connected.
This feels so relevant for me today - thank you Kevin x
Emma! I'm so glad.

Thanks John. I’m grateful our paths crossed.

Exactly. And what if that's the only way we'll ever discover the real treasure we never knew existed?
I am in explorer mode now. Scary as all get out but necessary. 😁
Lucky for you, you're up to the task. 💪🏼

Thanks for the wisdom, my friend.
