One thing I would have done differently knowing what I know today. Is the major transition points in my life. Those times when a career path was coming to an end, yet I still didn’t know what was next.
How I handled it was to try and fill the gap, as quickly as possible, based on my skill set, rather than what I wanted.
I would have created more intentional spaces in which to pause and reflect on what aspects of myself was craving greater expression.
I would have done more exploration around my actual interest, rather than simply the job bank.
I would have placed a higher value on healing those fears that came up based on stepping into the unknown.
And I would have spent the time stimulating my excitement for other possibilities outside of what I knew and was familiar with.
Transitions can naturally stir up chaos. There is also the fear of the unknown. There is the fact that you have a life established already, and you are not as young as you once were. On top of all the other things your mind is telling you. What if we don’t make it? What if I fail?
Well friends, this can be the greatest opportunity, to change your story, and live passionately.
To get there, means that we actually put a greater value on feeling good as a part of our next step. Not just being practical. It means that we are putting our happiness closer to the top of our non-negotiable list. And it means that we are opening up to greater trust in ourselves and the path ahead. It means taking small risks, to step in the direction of our passions.
You are so worth it, and this is your life to live. Yes you may fail, but this can also be the moment that actually has you discovering more of the creative side of yourself and expressing your true gifts.
So recognize the transition for the opportunity it is.
