Last year, Bishop Bronner shared something in church that really stuck with me: finding your purpose often means trying a little bit of everything. It’s easy to get caught up in waiting for the perfect moment or plan, but what if the answer is simply about experimenting and seeing what sticks?

This idea popped into my head today, and I started thinking—maybe that’s how we should approach life. Life isn’t guaranteed to be smooth, so why not try everything, let things unfold, and see where it leads?

When making spaghetti, I was taught to throw a noodle against the wall to see if it sticks. If it does, it’s ready. What if we approached life experiences in the same way? Throw ourselves into the mix, see what sticks, and trust we’ll know when it’s time to move forward.

The Beauty of Uncertainty
Life is full of uncertainties, and that’s both terrifying and beautiful. We spend so much time searching for clarity, but what if clarity isn’t the point? What if the journey itself—the experimentation, the trying new things, the stumbling and picking ourselves up—is what truly matters?

We often resist uncertainty because it feels uncomfortable. But what if we embraced it? What if we leaned into the unknown, trusting that every path we take, even if it doesn’t lead to the destination we expected, is still part of the bigger picture? Trying everything isn’t about having a plan—it’s about letting life unfold in its own imperfect way.

Discovering What Sticks
Not everything we try will resonate with us, and that’s okay. Sometimes it’s about making a mess, testing boundaries, and experiencing things we never thought we would. What sticks might surprise us. It could be a career we didn’t expect, a relationship that teaches us more than we imagined, or a hobby that becomes a lifelong passion.

I’ve realized that it’s often the unexpected things that end up meaning the most. We don’t always know what will stick until we try. And even if it doesn’t, there’s something valuable in the experience itself—whether it’s a lesson learned, a new connection made, or a part of ourselves uncovered. Sometimes, the act of trying gives us more than success ever could.

Living Beyond Perfection
One of the greatest traps we fall into is waiting for everything to be perfect before we take action. The perfect time, the perfect decision, the perfect moment. But what if perfection is the thing holding us back? The fear of making mistakes, of failing, of not living up to some imaginary ideal, can keep us from even starting.

What if instead of perfect, we just aim for progress? What if we gave ourselves permission to try without the pressure of having to succeed? Life isn’t meant to be perfectly planned, and maybe it’s in the imperfections where we find the most growth.

The Power of Trying
Trying is the ultimate form of faith. It’s the belief that something out there is waiting for us, even if we don’t know what it is yet. It’s the courage to act despite the fear of the unknown. And in a way, it’s also a form of trust—in ourselves and in life. Trust that by trying, we’re on the right path, even when it doesn’t seem like it.

The beauty is that we don’t have to have it all figured out. We don’t have to know where we’ll end up. We just need to keep moving, keep experimenting, and keep seeing what sticks. Life doesn’t need to make sense right now—it just needs to be lived.

Conclusion
So maybe the key to finding our purpose isn’t about finding one thing we’re meant to do. Maybe it’s about giving ourselves permission to try, to explore, to fail, and to grow. Life doesn’t always give us the answers right away, but it does give us the chance to learn, to evolve, and to uncover the unexpected.

As Bishop Bronner said, trying everything could very well be the answer to finding what we’re truly meant to do. And maybe, just maybe, that’s enough.

“I’ve lived much of my life trying new things, never afraid to take the leap. But what I’ve realized is that my idea of perfection often keeps me from fully enjoying the process. I want to challenge myself to truly live like this—not just talk about it on my blog but take action. I want to try and enjoy the act of trying it all, without the weight of perfection holding me back. Life is too short to wait for everything to align. It’s time to embrace the journey of trying, learning, and growing in real time.”
