There have been times in my life where I found myself lost in the transition between something I used to do and something I would eventually end up doing. This is what I call a Life Transition. This isnt a change I ever knowingly wished for, but something that happens from time to time.
Until recently I never openly spoke about life transitions. But I found it very reassuring that just about everyone experiences these life transitions over the course of their life. It is just that sometimes we dont realize what is going on while we are having the experience.
One thing I have found to be consistent across my life transitions is the underlying feeling of personal freedom which is unleashed as a side effect of the process.
Over the years, I have learned to take advantage of this new found freedom to explore new ideas and opportunities. This freedom doesnt appear at first but only after a period of weeks (sometimes months) where I reflect back, clear my mind and accept what is happening to me and then think about what may be next. This isnt a time to feel sorry for yourself but rather a time to gain internal strength and confidence for what lies ahead.
For myself, I now look at life transitions as a time where I am given an opportunity to reboot myself and redefine who I want to be and what I really wanted to be doing. A time of introspection. A time to grow. A time to transform into the next version of who I am.
