The Courage to Grow: Staying Inspired in the In-Between Space
On Mondays, I choose a quote that resonates with me and share it in hopes that it will serve as a dose of inspiration to start your work week, and nudge you to take steps to move your goals forward.
“I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.” ~ Tracee Ellis Ross
If you’re an ambitious professional or leader, you know that space well - caught between who you are today and who you are becoming. The in-between space can feel like a stretch, feel uncomfortable and even discouraging. You have the vision, you have the plans (in your head and written), you have the drive, yet you are not quite there yet. The dreams, goals and desires are still unfolding. This in-between space is also an important part of the growth process. The courage to grow is not about dreading or rushing past the in-between (although at times this might be the default thought/feeling) but about learning to stay inspired while navigating this space.
I offer a few words of encouragement (and reminders) if you are in the space of waiting, the space of uncertainty, that stretch between vision and seeing results.
Keep your “why’ in focus
Growth often does not happen at the destination, but along the journey
The waiting can help to build/strengthen muscles that will come in handy later
Continue taking courageous steps to move your dreams and goal forward
No matter how small the wins and the gains, go ahead and celebrate them
May the space between where you are and where you want to be, serve as inspiration!
