Question of the Day: Where Are We Going to Go?

December 31, 2025

We have the keys to the car, and it’s got a full tank… where are we going to go?

On the surface, it sounds casual. Almost playful. Like a question tossed out the window with the engine already running.

But it assumes something important.

It assumes you are going somewhere.

Not someday. Not when things calm down. Not when you feel more prepared or less tired or more certain.

Now.

This question does not ask whether the road will be smooth. It does not ask whether you have a perfect plan. It does not ask whether the people chasing you will lose interest.

It asks where you are aiming.

That matters, especially at the edge of a new year. December 31 has a way of inviting big promises that collapse under their own weight. This question is smaller than that. More grounded. It is not asking for a reinvention. It is asking for a direction.

Where does the version of you that actually exists want to go next?

Not the optimized version. Not the one who finally gets their act together. The real one. The one reading this right now with unfinished business and limited energy and a head full of noise.

Maybe the answer is not a place. Maybe it is a pace. Slower. Steadier. Less reactive.

Maybe it is a boundary. Away from something that drains you. Toward something that feels more honest.

Or maybe the answer is simply movement itself. Choosing not to stay parked out of fear of choosing wrong.

Staying still feels safe, but it has a cost. The longer you sit, the easier it becomes to convince yourself that waiting is the responsible choice. Sometimes it is. Often it is just avoidance dressed up as caution.
