“If you close your eyes right now… what would you see if you could not see?
Because in that darkness lies truth.
And in truth, we begin our transitions.”
Have you ever driven past something and swore it was one thing—only to get closer and realize it was something entirely different? Of course you have. That’s the nature of relying on sight alone. Our eyes play tricks on us. They offer interpretation, not always truth—especially in situations that require understanding, like Hoarding Cleanup Services, where the real story often lies beneath the surface mess
To only believe what you see is to move through life without true vision—without direction. I know, I know… I sound like I’ve gone full Gandhi on you. But hear me out: we’ve become far too dependent on sight as our primary survival tool, only to feel confused or betrayed when things don’t turn out the way we “saw” them. It’s no different than using a GPS that doesn’t remember where it is.
I once followed mine from Boston en route to New York, only to end up at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean—being told to drive onto a ferry.
Another time, I watched The Book of Eli three times for the action scenes, only to realize on the third watch that the main character, played by Denzel Washington, was blind the entire time.
Talk about missing the whole point.
The truth is: your eyes, your car, your GPS—those are just instruments. They can take you somewhere, but they can’t get you there. That part… that journey… is powered by imagination. By intention. By instinct. It’s what you feel in the dark, not what you see in the light, that often carries you forward.
I work out five days a week, but I don’t own a scale—because the true weight of my progress is measured by how my clothes fit, how my mindset shifts, or how much stronger I’ve become. Relying on just a number on a scale—especially without deeper direction—can kill motivation. That’s why I believe in a Transition Evaluation Assessment—a more holistic way to check in, not just physically but mentally and emotionally too. My direction is my faith.
And my faith must always be my direction.
There’s an old saying: “When man makes plans, God laughs.”
But it’s only through the act of planning, of believing, of seeing without seeing—that we make progress. True progress.
When we depend solely on surface-level tools—what we can touch, what we can prove—we limit ourselves. We cut off access to some of the most powerful navigational systems available to us: instinct, intuition, and faith. These aren’t replacements for sight—they’re supplements. And together, they can not only save your life—they can transform it.
So, if you’re standing at the edge of a transition—if change is knocking at your door and you feel anxious, uncertain, or frozen by indecision—consider it time for a personal growth assessment. It’s not about what you see on the outside, but how you’re evolving within…
I challenge you:
Close your eyes.
And ask yourself:
What would you see… if you could not see? Because in that vision—whatever rises up in the dark—you’ll find your next step. That’s where transformation begins. That’s where you begin.
