Many of us find ourselves in transitions whether chosen or by circumstances. We are faced with becoming something new. You may not be who you were but you are not yet who you are becoming.

Here’s what I discovered: When you get clear on what YOU truly need and want, you realize you’re actually capable of having it. The path appears. The decisions get easier. Everything balances — because you’re finally pointed in the right direction. But you have to do the work first.

Step Back. Evaluate. Inventory. Dream.

Your Move

• Step Back Stop climbing for a minute. Question what you’re clinging to. What assumptions are dragging you along right now? Where are are you blocked?

• Evaluate Ask which wall your ladder is against? Are you climbing in the right direction or toward something you actually want — or something you were told to want?

• Inventory Look at your whole life — not just career and income. Health. Relationships. Purpose. Joy. Where are you? Where do you want to be?

• Dream Define what “potential” means for you. Not society’s version. Yours. What would make this life worth living?

It’s gaining the information and awareness you want to choose the next step.

“Your inner purpose is to awaken.”
