When Something Tugs at You, Pay Attention

Sometimes the idea won’t leave you alone.
It pulls at you in quiet ways first…a thought in the shower, a sticky note on your desk, a sentence you keep rewriting in your head. You try to ignore it because life feels comfortable enough, but the tug stays.

Talking with Molly and Liz reminded me that tug is never random. They didn’t wait for approval. They built something the ecosystem needed and trusted themselves enough to try.

It made me think about how many times we convince ourselves to stay put. We tell ourselves someone else will do it, or the timing isn’t right, or that we need a better plan first. But almost every big thing I’ve watched grow started with someone saying “I don’t have the map, but let’s go anyway.”

If something keeps nudging you, listen to it. Start with one step. It will teach you the rest.
