The end of one thing and the beginning of another, rebirth, ongoing growth, continuous improvement, transformation and change
holding on to the past, not letting go of an outmoded dream, giving up after the first test, difficulty reframing failure as learning
A major phase in your life is coming to a close, and a new beginning is coming into view. This natural cycle of death and birth will bring positive closure to a long-awaited cycle of completion. These endings are inevitable, and we must allow them to happen naturally. Radically reframe any imperfections or unsuccessful attempts that have led to this. It’s okay to make mistakes along the way, so accept them as invaluable lessons that have shown you how to become more resilient and more accurate with each successive try. Lean in with a growth mindset—yep, another freakin’ growth opportunity—and begin to identify which ingredients were missing. Then get ready to make some superstar upgrades because continuous selfimprovement is key to this transformation! One evolution leads to the next. We are never done learning about who we are, nor about who we are becoming—and because of this it is never too late to start. You’re not too late to “make it.” Let go of old ideas and old ways of being, and be reborn into an extraordinary new opportunity.
• What is ending? And what is beginning? How can you honor these two states of transition?
• Do you tend to rejoice in the new or lament the past?
• Every great success story includes moments of rejection (and mistakes!) before that wildly incredible step was taken. How have you transformed and transformed again in order to be ready for your big moment?
• How are you welcoming continuous improvement into your life? And what one thing can you do differently that would be a dramatic improvement over last time?
