Endings have always been hard for me, but spending these last weeks talking to folks I've been working with and their genuine excitement and support for the next step of my career have made what might have been a difficult transition that much more affirming.
Thank you for all those who have stopped at my desk for sent emails of support.
I think one of the things that you must keep in mind when ending one chapter of your life is to make sure the next chapter is a step to get you closer to who you really are and who you want to be. If you keep the below in mind, endings can be empowering experiences that can propel you happily into your next adventure.
1. Remember your future is always being defined by the decisions you make today.
2. Surround yourself with those who love and know you better than anyone else in the world. They will be your best sounding boards when you want to make a change (professionally or otherwise).
3. Believe. Believe in your gut instinct of what you are meant to do. That instinct is often the Holy Spirit pointing you in a direction you are meant to go.
4. Enjoy the journey and try to be as present as possible in whatever you do. You only have one life.
5. When in doubt, pray. Pray for patience and wisdom in your actions and thoughts.
6. Be thankful for all the opportunities you have to grow and change. Someday you will look back and it will seem like a distant memory.
