What to do when the fog rolls in
Megan and I have spent the past few days in Alaska (a first for both of us) — part work, part wonder.
I had the privilege of speaking for an incredible organization here, and after, we’ve had the gift of a couple of days to breathe, explore, and refresh.
When we first arrived, it was a beautiful sight to look out from our hotel balcony and see the majestic mountains on the other side of the lake. Yesterday, though, the view was quite different...
Where did the mountains go?!
Those beautiful mountains had vanished behind a thick layer of fog. You would never know they were there!
Of course you and I both know: the mountains didn’t disappear.
They were still there — steady, unmoved, waiting to be revealed again.
It struck me how often life feels like that.
We lose sight of what matters most — who we are, what we value, why we started — not because it’s gone, but because the fog of busyness, stress, and uncertainty rolls in.
The truth is, clarity isn’t something we find.
It’s something we remember.
And sometimes, that remembering begins with a single question.
One Question for This Week:
What do I want to be clear about today?
Not forever.
Not next year.
Just today.
Because when you choose one thing that matters most — how you want to show up, what you want to give, what you want to protect — the fog starts to lift.
This Ends Now
End the story that says “I’ll feel clear once everything settles down.”
That day may never come.
This Moment Matters
Choose one clear intention for today.
Maybe it’s calm. Maybe it’s kindness. Maybe it’s joy.
Write it down.
Act from it.
Let that be enough.
When the view disappears, don’t panic.
Pause. Breathe. Remember what never moves.
Up we go—
