You Can’t See a Year from Here

February 22, 2026 by Leah Halvorsen

No matter what your life is bringing you right now, One thing is true: you can’t see a year from here.

You never know what life will throw at you, and that may feel like a stress-inducing fact or a freeing one. Either way, because you can’t see a year from here, what you have is NOW. So in this now, you can plant seeds, start new projects, meet new people and take whatever step is available to you, because where that will lead, is not “see-able” from here, and it isn’t supposed to be.

You won’t have control of everything. That’s ok. If you control everything nothing can contribute to you or influence the path, and this means no surprises, but sometimes surprises are exactly what is needed. The world might surprise you, and in order for it to do that, you have to get out in it, and allow it to interact with you. You can’t create or attract something new by doing the same ol’ thing. You gotta give your future self something to work with, so doing new, brave, curious things now, creates new tools, connections and experiences for future you to work with. Some of these energetic investments will show results right away, and others will show no results, or delayed results. That’s ok. These investments are not a waste, because we never know—-until we try, and we can’t see a year from here.

So, how about you go do that thing, have that conversation, open that professional door and see what happens next?

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; But often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
