But then who is me today?
I am going through another major shift in my life. I’m entering another new chapter, shedding another skin and turning another new, previously undiscovered corner. Today I’m breaking through and it feels a little strange. I’m back out of my comfort zone and as I emerge through the next window, I discover aspects of me that have hidden dormant, waiting to be awoken. Little corners of my insides that have rested untapped. Little pockets of growth that have waited patiently for now.
My company is in turnaround and so am I. My skin is shedding and I’m entering another growth spurt. I’m stretching and groaning as my body and brain deal with the change. I’m like a snail tentatively creeping out from its shell. My brain is adjusting to the new in front and to the old behind. In front is where I want to go and behind there is a life that will never be the same again. Like a snake shedding its skin, I wriggle slowly, inch by inch and painfully into the new zone.
The new zone is what I have been envisioning for years, talked about for months and hoped and prayed that eventually it would come. So why sometimes does it feel strange?
Doing something that you have never done before does feel strange. It doesn’t mean that it’s wrong or you are unhappy with the change it just means adjusting. Sometimes it feels good sometimes it feels bad. Sometimes we are up sometimes we are down. These bumps along the way are bumps to makes us jiggle. They help us stretch and they help us breakthrough.
If you are feeling challenged today write down on your pad what you want and why you are doing it. Keep your eye on the ball as it will pull you around. This minute is just this minute and in the next you will feel better. Keep your vision because you will get there before the end because you know why you want it.
Keep well and speak soon and tomorrow will be better it always is xx
