Sooo…
That “Welcome back” was for me… not you. Haha! But if this
is your first time visiting… Welcome, welcome, welcome!
I began this blog about 3 years ago, right before life
hooked me by the heart and sent me on an emotional rollercoaster. As I think
back on my first blog post, I couldn’t have imagined all that I would have gone
through in such a short amount of time.
I’ve toiled for the last few months on what topic I wanted
to share…when I wanted to share it… and how I wanted to “craft” this masterpiece. This only resulted in further procrastination
of course…With that in mind, today’s post will be about Transitions.
I
was blessed to have the chance to meet and hear a wonderful speaker by the name
of Marcus Stanley. His message imposed a profound statement into my
life. Loosely translated he said that “As humans, we expect for transitions to
be the final step…”
In
other words, we are always looking for that major obstacle or trial to be our LAST
obstacle or trial. UnFORRRtunately (or fortunately – depends on how you look at
it), LIFE doesn’t work that way.
Now
back to me, for the last 3 years, I’ve been TRANSITIONING. Within those
transitions, I’ve been given lifelong lessons, dreams, relationships, joys…and plenty of pains. But in the midst of these
transitional moments, I gave the things that happened (good or bad) permission
to control my attitude instead of mastering change.
I
want to encourage you today, if you’re going through a transitional phase that
does not feel so delightful… Keep pressing forward. You’ll build a tolerance
for what I call BS… Bossy Stress… ;-) LOL
Choose
to learn about yourself instead of loathing. What makes you tick? What makes
you uncomfortable about that new job? Who can you talk to about these things?
What does your spiritual compass look like???? Where are you in chronos vs.
kairos time?
Understanding
that just because things look appealing this world is, your journey is yours to
follow. Don’t become distracted by someone elses grass. And learn to appreciate
the journey in the midst of the storm.
I
can’t say that I’ve completely mastered change.. But because I know that
transition is inevitable, I now have a better chance at mastering it.
Transition
smooth… and Pack Light.
