A Season of Becoming
“Life is a process of becoming. A combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.”
A Season of Becoming
Life is full of those weird, in-between phases, right? You’re not quite who you were, but you’re also not fully who you’re becoming yet. Whether it’s a career change, kids leaving home, or just feeling like something’s shifting inside you, these liminal spaces can feel pretty uncomfortable. But here’s the thing—those moments, as messy as they are, have so much potential for growth. What if, instead of dreading them, we leaned in and saw them as opportunities?
In these in-between times, you have a chance to really check in with yourself. It’s like shedding an old skin that’s gotten too tight. These transitions are where we get to ask, “What do I really want? What’s no longer serving me?” It’s uncomfortable, sure, but that’s because you’re evolving. Real growth doesn’t happen when everything feels safe and predictable—it happens when we step into the unknown and let ourselves be open to change.
When we can reframe the discomfort of these moments, they start to feel less scary. It’s not just about surviving the transition, it’s about using it as a chance to shift old habits, let go of limiting beliefs, and move toward something better. The discomfort is kind of like a signal—it’s saying, “Hey, this is where you grow.” What if these in-between phases weren’t just bumps in the road but necessary steps on the path to becoming who you’re meant to be?
So, next time you’re feeling stuck or unsettled in a life transition, remind yourself that this is where the magic happens. It might be uncomfortable, but that’s where all the good stuff—growth, clarity, and new beginnings—comes from. Embrace the messy middle, trust the process, and remember, you’re just becoming a more authentic, aligned version of yourself. You’ve got this!
