Yes - It does say DANGER in that slide!
Yet another crossroads of uncertainty, yearning for direction and meaningful change. This isn't about making a decision; it's about embracing the profound roles we play in our lives. You are a dedicated daughter, a nurturing mother, a consistent gym-goer, Morris dancer or employee. Vital roles which we cultivate but: What role are you preparing for next?
This breakthrough was my personal invitation to step onto the stage and become the star of my own unfolding play. It’s perfectly okay to see myself as an actor, deliberately shaping each performance. The beauty lies in acknowledging that we all have the power to direct the narrative, to "act as if" we are already the person we aspire to be in that next phase of our lives. This isn't about pretense; it’s about practical application – embodying the qualities, habits, and mindset of your future self right now.
The key to navigating this pivotal moment isn't just about seeking an external answer; it’s about intentionally preparing to be nothing short of amazing in your next role. This preparation phase is crucial. It’s a time for deep learning, for acquiring the skills, knowledge, and self-awareness necessary to thrive in your next era. Whether that role involves a significant career shift, a personal transformation, or a new creative pursuit, understanding that you are currently in a period of preparation can be incredibly empowering. It validates the effort you're putting in, even when the destination isn't fully clear. What if I am preparing for the role of a lifetime? Stands to reason the preparation phase is so challenging! There is relief and reassurance in this. Space to breath and enjoy.
In this Podcast, I share, "Whatever your process is to remember who you are, you know the way to unlock it. And enjoy it when the breakthrough comes because it's an incredible feeling to know that you have an answer to a question that has been keeping you stuck." This resonates deeply with the idea of being in preparation, if you are actively seeking your own answers, engaging in a process to remember your strengths and desires. The "breakthrough" isn't a sudden event; it's the culmination of focused preparation, the moment the pieces fall into place and you gain clarity on a question that has kept you feeling stuck.
Embrace this preparation phase. It is an exciting period of growth and learning. A time to refine the script and rehearse for the most impactful performance yet. Your breakthrough is on its way, and it will be an incredible feeling when you realize you have the answer, the direction, and the readiness for your next amazing role.
