Enter the space between death and life.

Change is a kind of death. One thing dies so something new can live. It’s the loss of something, even when it’s voluntary, and the gain of something else.

There is usually a space during change when something has been lost but not yet replaced. You have killed off the old but not yet given life to the new. You have left the old world but not yet entered the new world.

This space—the transition from what is to what will be—scares people.

They want to have the new in hand before letting go of the old. They want to know what will be before they let go of what is. They want their place in the new world secured before they leave the old world.

But nature does everything in its own time.

Death gives way to life. Old gives way to new. Loss gives way to gain. What is gives way to what will be. This is certain.

It’s the space in between that is uncertain. What will happen, how, when, and what form it takes—all unknown. The only way to discover those answers for certain is by letting go of what is and crossing the uncertain space to what will be.

Keep your mind open, your awareness up, and your heart willing.

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
