Transitions are strange places.
They’re the in-between. The uncomfortable hallway between one door closing and another not yet open. We know something is ending. We feel it, but the new beginning hasn’t fully revealed itself… yet.
And in that space, things often feel murky. Heavy. Dark. Like we’re walking through fog waiting for the sun to remember us.
But eventually, the light does return. A glimmer at first, and then a ray of sunshine peeks through the dark clouds.
And then, you’re standing at a fork in the road. And there it is: a choice.
Do you stay with the Devil You Know—the familiar job, the relationship, the location, the identity—even if it no longer serves you?
Or do you take the path untraveled? The opportunity quietly brewing in your chest. The one that you keep dreaming about, but haven’t dared to take the next step.
We’re so often afraid of choosing “wrong.”
Afraid of what others will think.
Afraid of disappointing someone…. or making a mistake.
But what if there was no wrong choice?
What if the power were simply in the choosing?
Yogi Berra said it best: “If you see a fork in the road, take it.”
In other words…
Stop waiting for permission.
Stop waiting for the perfect sign, the perfect timing, the perfect clarity.
Choose the path that feels right in your gut, not the one imposed by fear or expectations.
So here’s your gentle nudge. Your flashlight in the fog.
Say yes to something new.
Say yes to something better.
Say yes to yourself.
If you’re waiting for a sign, this is it.
Book a call with me here, and let’s figure out your next steps.
Happy Wednesday!
