You might have it all together and decide its time to move forward.
But before you get to where your vision lies, you will be in the messy middle.
Things move quickly, they are unpredictable, and you might not be able to keep up in the graceful way you expect.
You will make mistakes.
You will fall from grace.
The words will come out wrong and you will have wished you could have been more. More kind, more thoughtful, more considerate, more inspiring, more empathetic, more understanding, or more considerate.
You will need to become comfortable with imperfection, because everything will be messy and unpredictable.
But here is the thing…
If you don’t allow things to get messy, and allow yourself the space to be imperfect… things can’t change because you will stop them by trying to control them.
You have to be able to let go of control in order to see what can happen, and that might mean things are out of control for a little bit.
The goal is to bring things back into balance, but not until they have changed.
You can’t hold on so tight to who you used to be, that you can’t become who you need to be.
