There are times I convince myself

I need more information.

One more input.

One more meeting.

One more loop around the problem.

I call it research.

It’s reassurance.

I can’t see the loop,

From inside it.

I didn’t sense the stall.

I kept gathering.

Kept asking.

Kept tweaking.

I am avoiding decision.

Like forwarding a presentation for “quick feedback”

when what I need is to commit.

This loop has a signature:

Motion instead of commitment.

Activity instead of alignment.

What helps me construct clarity is asking:

Is this signal or noise?

Is this new information or old fear?

Is this aligned input or a delay tactic?

Clarity doesn’t shout.

It whispers.

When I stop chasing certainty,

the clarity signal can catch me.
