"I know well what I am fleeing from but
not what I am in search of"
Michel de Montaigne
Life is filled with transitions. Some we see approaching, but there are those we meet at the bend in the road. Transitions from one experience to another can be joyful, heart rendering or fearful. Whatever we learn from one transition may not help us with future changes.
Although, sometimes painful, transitions are part of the learning process. It is the movement after the incubation, the bridge linking us to a new future. We are not allowed to see clearly into the next stage and sometimes that is a good thing or else we might be overwhelmed.
As we choose our perspective towards our transition, it frames our experience. Our perspective is colored by our emotions. If we are fearful and non-trusting, we may face uncertain opportunities. If we are strong in our sense of self, believing our journey forward will be rewarding, we will still be challenged but the growth will be deeper. Stay in the present moment, don't get stuck in your past nor overwhelmed by the future. Just be....but hang on!
