Transition

Most of us are in a constant state of transition in some area of our lives.

The trick is not to give up and think that what we are moving away from is a permanent loss.  We might indeed be experiencing the loss of friends, or an old job, but at the same time we are moving towards new things that have not yet manifested.

We can’t see what the new opportunities will be until we let go of the old things.

Sometimes old beliefs, old friendships, and old ideas – these are the things that are holding us back.  Being willing to look at new beliefs, new friendships and new ideas can open the door to new opportunities and possibilities.

Sometimes there will be a delay between the letting go and loss of the old before the new appears.  That’s okay.  Don’t give up. 

The new can only arrive after the old has vacated the space it was taking up in your life.

You won’t see the new until the old has gone.  Then you will be able to look back and realize that the transition (loss of the old) has led to something new and fresh.

In nature, trees shed their leaves every year, and for a time, appear to be dead.  But in the spring, the new arrives – new buds, new leaves, and shortly thereafter the tree is clothed in glorious new leaves.  The loss of the old was necessary to make room for the new, more glorious, covering.

This is nature’s way.  Let the old slide away.  Make room for the new, and rejoice when it arrives.
