Does this moment call for stillness or action? Does this moment call for stillness or action?

Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's episode. This is a question that came up when I was

writing something longer and it's followed me for the past few years. It's something that

I just kind of wrote down and I thought, wow, I actually need to ask myself that on a much

more frequent basis. And to be completely transparent, it comes from something that makes me pretty angry.

Angry is really the only word I can find that really adequately describes how I feel.

It started with frustration, annoyance, but it's anger now, quite honestly. So this thing that makes me angry is I'll tell you a

story to kind of explain it. So I was having a conversation with someone a little over a year ago,

and they asked me, what did I, like like what advice would I give to young people and what is something

that young people need to be more confident about and just you know really bold about and I don't

know why this was my answer but this was the answer that I gave on this particular

day. And I said, well, I think that young people need more room to be confident in their decision to

take their time to figure things out in their life. I think we put a lot of pressure

on young people to be confident about where they want to go to school and what they're going to do

with their lives and their teen years and their 20s. And I don't know. I just want to live in a world

where more young people are just like, I'm not quite sure. Like, I'm just trying to be present where I am

right now and I'm trying a few things. I'm exploring or just confident to say, well, I tried that,

but, you know, I don't know if that works. And, you know, that was just sort of the answer that I gave.

It was, I felt it was pretty generic answer.

But based on how the other person responded, that's not the case.

And they proceeded to tell me, well, that's not how you can live your life. Like you need to have a plan.

You need to know what you're doing.
