I Don’t Know What I’m Doing

Chad: “I don’t really know what I’m doing.”

Charlie: “Well what are you doing?”

Chad “I’m….”

And Chad always has a response for that question.

See, it’s rare that you don’t know what it is you’re doing. You always know what you’re doing.

As it turns out ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’ usually means one of two things…

1. I know what I’m doing, I just don’t know what comes next.

2. I know what I’m doing, I just I don’t know if what I’m doing is going to get me the result I hope for.

ok there’s one more…

3. I don’t want to be held responsible for the outcome of what I’m doing, and no one can blame an under informed, under educated person. So I’ll act like I’m that person.

In regards to #1…You’ll know more when you get done with what you’re doing, which will inform what to do next.

In regards to #2…This is the set of hurdles you’ve chosen. No one knows if it’s going to work.

In regards to #3…If this is who you want to be you’ll always have a place in the middle.
