A Life in Transition: Don’t Rush Your Destination

There will be times in our lives when we will find ourselves in between the things we used to do and the things we will be doing. Sometimes this happens because we have a need for a change and we force the change onto ourselves. And sometimes this happens because of circumstances outside of our own control.

These are the moments in our lives where we are given another chance to look back at the person we have become, the paths that we have traveled, take inventory of who we are and who we may want to be next.

While the temptation will exist to quickly figure out what the next BIG thing for us will be, I have discovered there is something to be said about enjoying our new found freedom and not rush into our next destination.

One of the harder things I find when dealing with this situation is giving myself enough time for the next BIG ideas to brew. Spending time on the sidelines watching life go by sometimes is something that we must experience in order to better appreciate and understand the work we will be doing next. For some of us, this is what gives us the perspective we need to better understand what our next destination will be.

And while these are just words, they do influence our everyday lives. Living day by day without a known destination is both a humbling and an empowering opportunity. We have a chance to better appreciate the things we did but with the added depth of focus which over time gives us perspective.

Yes, we do need to make short term tactical decisions, as things will always need to be done. But rather than get consumed by this, I have discovered it is sometimes better to focus on the ideas you have in mind for yourself than just settle on doing something just because it is the easy thing to be doing. “Lazy” is not something you want to find yourself being called when you are in this state of transition.

And while you will also find others who have experienced something similar to what you are going through, meeting other people who are also going through similar life transitions at same time as you are, can give you the feelings of encouragement of not to rush into anything that fast and to once again enjoy the moments and enjoy watching life happen around you.

Enjoy the journey and as your perspective grows, you will see what the best options for you that there are. Friends may offer you advice and loved ones may offer your support but it is up to you to figure this all out.

A burglar breaks into a house. He sees a CD player that he wants so he takes it. Then he hears a voice "JESUS is watching you". He looks around with his flashlight wandering "What The HELL Was That?". He spots some $ on a table and takes it......Once again he hears a voice " JESUS is watching you". He hides in a corner trying to find where the voice came from. He spots a birdcage with a parrot in it! He goes over and asks " Was that your voice?". It said "YES". He then says "What's your name?". It says "MOSES". The burglar says " What kind of person names his bird moses??" The parrot replys "THE SAME PERSON THAT NAMES HIS Rottweiler "JESUS".

I think of this when I see people in our local coffeehouse who are constantly on their cell phones as if they can't stand a moment alone with their thoughts. The constant chatter fills up the emptiness we can sometimes feel and silences the doubts or discomfort that signals that something is not right in our lives.

Spot on. I think the best ideas gel during these times. As if our hard drives have been defrag'ed and capacity for new mental production has been created.

I think an important and underrated aspect to this search is silence which allows time to reflect on our lives, our hopes and goals, as well as our limitations.

I'm blessed and cursed to have an abundance of solitude in my life right now. It can be lonely but it is also freeing in that I have never felt so sure of my own thoughts and feelings, less influenced by the moods of others. I need to be conscious of the possibility of self-absorption but I'm also grateful not to be constantly judged and evaluated by others (whether pro or con). It feels liberating in its possibility.
