Risk and reward
We're all just looking for clarity. One day we think we have it all figured out, when suddenly all of our plans are swept out in one fell swoop. The winds shift and now everything is foggy. Do you wait it out, hoping it will eventually clear? Or do you make headway with action and risk? Either way, nothing is certain.

Where are you headed?
There is a motive behind every person's actions. If the two are discordant, the person is being disingenuous. Either they aren't being honest with someone else or they aren't being honest with themselves.
Good intentions don't determine where they'll end up. Only direction can decide one's destination. This is why "I didn't mean to" is never a satisfying excuse. But someone without direction is to be pitied above the rest. Even a disingenuous, ill intentioned person will end up somewhere. But a person without direction will wander with no end in sight, no closure.
If your motives are lucid and well intended, and your actions resonate with them, your direction is already determined. You can bet that you're headed for what you've had your eyes on the whole time.
