The beauty of cluelessness

Lying in bed this morning as I woke up, I thought about the day ahead and it dawned on me — “I have no clue what’s going to happen today!”

I’ve got meetings scheduled, an internal quarter review, a feature update test, 2 client calls, a stop-by at someone’s office, and a deadline to ensure we meet. Still, the truth is—I don’t actually know how the day will unfold.

I might meet someone who changes my life forever, in the direction I desire—or not. Something could happen before noon that wipes out the rest of my plans. I might learn a lesson I’ll never forget. I might eat the best roasted street food of my life. It might send my stomach running too. I might witness the most beautiful interaction between two strangers. I might see something that sparks something that births something incredible.

Or none of that.I might even die, or live to declare the works of the Lord.

I’ll never know for sure. And that—hope, faith, curiosity—is what gets me out of bed.
