THE CHALLENGE of TRANSITION:

In every person’s life there are times when you realizes your life no longer holds the interesting possibilities and satisfying experiences as before. You find yourself at a crossroad not knowing which path to take. The excitement and joy you once experienced have diminished, leading to a sense of loss and lack of direction. You might feel dissatisfaction with almost everything. The most dismaying feelings can arise from the sense of loss of self, of who you are, as though that friend and confident you have always been to yourself has moved to a distant land. This sense of loss is frequently accompanied by a loss of meaning and purpose. And even after applying considerable energy to getting on with it, you seem to be just spinning your wheels and getting no where.

These are all signs you are probably entering a major life transition. This period of uncertainty can come on gradually. You might have just completed a very productive and satisfying period. But now the path ahead is not clear and you feel you are facing something greater but still unknown just beyond your reach. Your uncertainty might be brought on by a sudden change in a close relationship or in your area of livelihood. Sometimes there are simply no apparent causes only the slow realization that something in your life has changed forever.

You might find yourself hoping that if only you could stick your head in the sand, like the reluctant ostrich, you will avoid having to deal with these formidable challenges confronting you. Or that the situation will magically resolve on it’s own. But what I know is that when the challenge of transition is not consciously dealt with, it becomes a crisis, which then compounds the difficulty. By not acknowledging your situation, by not making the most of this transition you might loose the opportunity of a lifetime, the opportunity to transform yourself into a renewed person. The period of transition is a time when the choices you make will effect the rest of your life.

THE OPPORTUNITY of TRANSFORMATION:

But here’s the good news! Periods of transition are a natural part of living. They offer you the opportunity of transformation which allows you to let go of what you have outgrown and develop further as a creative person capable of deeper understanding, loving and participation in the world. The process of transformation is like shedding an old skin. At first you might feel exposed and vulnerable and hold some fear of the unknown. Hold your self with compassion and give your self space and time. What I have seen in so many people is that when you acknowledge and accept the challenge of a major life transition, you can engage this process in an eyes wide-open and creative way.

This transition then offers you the opportunity for personal transformation, an opportunity to renew your life. Building on the best of your former and current life, you can encourage this renewed person, who is already waiting an eager to emerge. You can nurture this person like you nurture the blooming of a flower which can be forever unfolding from its center. It offers you the opportunity to evaluate where you have been and who you are.

You can resolve and release old ideas about who you are and old habits that are holding you back which are like weights you have been dragging behind. By letting go of this burden you release so much energy to move forward in you life in a constructive way. With an uncluttered mind you will see things more clearly and be ale to make accurate evaluations and creative responses. Transforming the complications of your former self into a life of inner and outer simplicity you will experience a new sense of freedom and ease in your daily living. Then by making wise choices and making the needed changes, you develop an inner strength that supports you in all areas of your life, and you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing who you are, and where you are going. Your renewed interest and curiosity about your life allows a new story to unfold. By learning to listen to your heart of hearts, your Essential Self, you will experience the certainty of fulfilling your greatest purpose and destiny. You will be able to take your place in the world as a model and mentor for others. Renewing your life will give a sense of joy you may have not known before.
