A friend recently shared what had been necessary for her to decide to change.

In her case, it was someone dear to her, a role model who at a similar moment of his life had chosen to continue. It had gone well until change was forced upon him.

Out of his experience, he extended the invitation for her to make a different choice. Seeing his new situation, she could see and choose change.

That is, leap into the unknown.

A scary unknown.

People might realize, that their life or what they do is not enjoyable. But that isn’t enough to change. It needs strength, in the sense of letting go knowing that the unknown can be dealt with.

It comes with the willingness to unlearn and learn anew.

It is seeing what had been invisible.
