“We owe no one an explanation for the decisions we make in our life; we only choose who we share them with.”
S.C.A.M (A Scheming & Crafty Aggressive Motion)
There comes a time in life where your choices no longer need validation. Not from friends. Not from family. Not even from those who think they have a right to weigh in on your path.
In a world obsessed with opinions, performance, and digital applauZse, we’ve been conditioned to believe that our decisions are only valid if they’re explained, defended, or approved by others. But here's the truth: you don’t owe anyone that kind of access to your inner process.
This quote from S.C.A.M touches on something many people silently struggle with the pressure to justify their decisions. Whether it’s a career move, a business idea, a relationship choice, or a personal boundary, there’s often a lingering fear: What will people think? Will they understand? What if they don’t agree?
But freedom doesn’t live in public opinion. It lives in clarity, your clarity.
The moment you realize that your life belongs to you and God, your decisions become less about permission and more about alignment. You no longer need to stand before the jury of everyone’s expectations. Instead, you walk in quiet confidence, knowing that not everyone is meant to understand your calling.
That’s not pride. That’s wisdom.
Now, let’s be clear, this doesn’t mean we become arrogant or dismissive. It means we become intentional. We choose who gets access to our “why.” We share our reasoning with those who deserve it, not those who are just curious. We protect our process because we value it. And we speak less not because we’re hiding, but because we’re building something sacred.
In S.C.A.M, this idea is part of a broader conversation about reclaiming our identity, rejecting societal pressure, and resisting the need to explain every move especially when those explanations often lead nowhere but judgment, comparison, and confusion.
Consider this: How many people have lost momentum in life because they spent too long trying to convince others their idea was valid?
How many dreams have been delayed because someone was waiting for approval that would never come?
How many bold, God given visions have been watered down to fit someone else's comfort zone?
Let this be your reminder: your journey is valid even if no one else understands it right now.
You don’t need to post every step. You don’t need to make a public announcement. You don’t need to answer every question. Some things are better kept quiet while they’re being developed. Some decisions only need one thing, your obedience.
When the results start to show, the noise will fade.
So, what decisions are you holding back from because you're afraid of how they’ll be perceived?
Who have you been giving explanations to that don't deserve a seat at your ,?
You owe no one an explanation for where God is leading you.
You only owe it to yourself to stay aligned and to keep moving forward faithfully, quietly, and boldly.
