This resonates well with me as I find myself in a similar crossroads. Realizing 20 years of the business I had started was enough and I walked away from what had become more than just work but an identity. Now I’m not sure what to do. I just tried my hand at a “new to me” profession and realized quickly this isn’t it either, although I’m signed on for another 6 weeks. Letting go is difficult for sure. Today was a stressful work day but there was such a clarity when I realized my ego is grasping for control. That said it’s hard to not lose my identity in that stress and push against that uncomfortable feeling. What a beautiful reminder suffering is. Always reminding me that I might try loosing the tight grip of desires I have going. Free falling is uncomfortable as we’ve all been trained to fear the impending bottom we are going to crash into. But those grace filled moments of clarity can swoop in at the most perfect of time’s to remind me there is nothing but an infinite amount of clear space and subsequently nothing to smash into…. So breath easier in the free fall.
Thank you, Peyton. What a beautiful reminder to just surrender to whatever is emerging for you next. There is nothing to crash into, just an infinite void of grace that guides us to whatever is next. Thanks for the reminder to relax and enjoy the ride. Here's to the discoveries you'll make as you fill out six more weeks!
Soooo goooood. 💜
Thank you. Glad it resonated with you!
