High Agency

Hiiiiiiii

How are you, my friend? In JD’s voice.

I recently found myself at a crossroads trying to make an adult decision. I had two options, the familiar path was comfortable but the unknown beckoned with promises of growth and adventure. It was a classic case of fear vs excitement with sprinkles of uncertainty.

I had a hard time analyzing the pros and cons of each option and I thought to myself, what do I really want? what am I willing to risk or lose? I’m not sure I have correct answers to these questions yet but I thought of an article I read a while ago on high agency.

High agency is about taking control of your life, making intentional decisions and shaping your destiny. It’s not about having all the answers but it’s trusting yourself enough to take the leap even though the landing spot is not clear. It’s about embracing the tough decisions instead of avoiding them.

While I was struggling with making a decision, I went back to read my favourite tweet of the year and it further confirmed my thoughts on high agency. Recognizing that the power to shape your life is in your hands is both exhilarating and terrifying.

I think you should read the replies and quotes of this tweet. All these people had one thing in common; high agency.

While we can’t control the outcome of our choices, we can control the effort we put in.

Till next time

Chiamaka❤️
