The New Normal

We all get to a phase where life transitions beyond what we were formerly used to into new untested grounds.

For some people it could be a switch in career or finally taking a leap of faith in a new relationship or some sort of opportunity.
What ever it is a part of us still want to hold unto life as "we knew it"

Farmiliar grounds mean control, control means predictable expectations and that creates structure and plans. These give us a sense of responsibility and confidence.

However when all these things are non existent it breeds uncertainty. Which means you're not in control, like you ever where in the first place

Uncertainty doesn't provide comfort but it does leave enough room for discomfort which helps you grow. So accept that life may never be as you knew it but it doesn't mean there isn't something better in store for you on the long run.
