Have you ever underestimated how attached you are to someone or something until it's gone or going?
Like when moving to a new special place but then realize that you’ve underestimated how much you love your current home and how hard it would be to leave.
Often we have emotional blowouts and various moments of "What have I done?" or "I don't know if I want to do this now" after it is too late.
But I realized something. Of course.
I was in the momentum of the trapeze.
To get to something or someone or somewhere new, you have to let go of the 'old' - otherwise you're kind of stuck between the two with the pulls of both confusing you.
Just as a trapeze artist has to fly through the air for a few seconds before the other part of the swing appears, that's where I’ve been on several occasions.
And here's the thing, it feels scary as well as exciting. I know this so well in other areas of my life:
You'll have lots of examples like these too where you've made a decision to do something then - just like the trapeze artist we all have to be -
you have to fly through the air being uncomfortable until the next part appears.
So, when starting my own business and then, in only a few weeks or so, with meaningful help of a good friend, I started my first mandate.
This is such a lesson for us all. Letting go and letting be whilst adjusting to the new 'what is'.
The story continues....
Let me know what resonated for you from this brief and reflective note about flying through the air as you approach a new landing!
