July slips away, August arrives.
Inhale becomes exhale.
One thing ends, another begins.
Not everything is meant to stay.
This month, we are exploring the liminal space that exists when things are growing, shifting, and evolving. This is usually not a comfortable place to be, and many of us try to get out of it as soon as possible.
It’s the space where you’ve lost a job & haven’t found a new one yet. Where you had the CT scan but are waiting for the results. Where you’re finally full-term, and are holding your breath for baby’s arrival.
As cliche as it may sound, it is the space where the caterpillar turns to mush inside her cocoon, while some miracle of biology reorganizes her cells into the butterfly. And when she emerges, she can fly.
This is usually not a comfortable space. But it is a powerful one. This is the space in between. In between who you are now & who you’re becoming. The moment you know everything has shifted, and you will never be the same again.
If we can learn to embrace this metamorphosis, we can learn to trust the magic of transformation. We too, can emerge from the cocoon different than we were before - lighter, brighter, and ready to stretch our wings.
Our growth is FOR us, as uncomfortable as it may be. Learn to love the places in-between, let them change you & teach you & challenge you.
Everything is changing all the time, why not embrace it?
Not everything is meant to stay.
