Deciding to Get On

“The thing about trains … it doesn’t matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on.” ~ The Conductor, The Polar Express

There’s something quietly powerful about this line. It reminds us that clarity doesn’t always come before action. Growth begins the moment we choose to step forward without a full map, without guarantees, without knowing exactly how it will unfold.

In leadership, learning, and life, we often wait for certainty before we commit. Progress is rarely born from certainty; it’s born from courage. From saying yes to the opportunity, the conversation, the change, even when the destination is still forming.

Consider where you might be standing on the platform, waiting for perfect conditions. And ask yourself: What might happen if I simply decided to get on the train?
