It’s Not Linear

Life, that is.

💡

Life is full of transitions.

Our transitions are often disruptors, sometimes massive change that leads to periods of upheaval, transition, and renewal.

We think our life will be linear and get unnerved when it is not.

Many of us approach life as if there are stages, one followed by another, in some sort of preset order.

Go to college. Get a job. Get a promotion. Get a "better" job. Get married. Have kids. Move to the 'burbs and buy a house. Etc. Etc.

The idea that our lives should be this linear is dead and outdated.

The world around us is filled with chaos and complexity. This much we know.

What about our life? Lots of chaos and complexity exists there, too.

We need to update how we view our life and recognize (accept?) that it's not linear.

The non-linear life includes many transitions, many disruptors.

According to research done by Bruce Feiler, the average person will go through three dozen disruptors in their lifetime and we spend roughly 25 years of our adult lives in some type of transition.

Holy cow!

With so much going on, we must develop the ability to master life's transitions.

The process starts with our ability to notice that we're in a transition.

Transitions come with an ending, a messy middle, and a new beginning.

Which of these areas are you best at handling?

Start there.

Build confidence and then proceed.

Reimagine your transitions.

Create your life.
