My Aha Moment!

I get it! I FINALLY get it. Many times when we take on a project, we are driven by what we want the end result to be. When you go to school, it's to get your diploma >so that you can make more money>so that you can better provide for yourself and/or family. You are driven by the end result. But sometime we are so focused on what's to come, or where we've been that we forget to simply bask in the meantime or the transitional period. How can we forget about the "now"?

I have news for you: The joy is in the transitional period.

Now I know that every tear, every big hearty laugh, every debt, every lost job, every zero balance, and every time I felt like my world was crashing down on me was all part of the transitional period. It was all part of preparing me and refining me for such a time as this.

You see, I couldn't write a book if I didn't have a story to tell. So the next time you are wondering how the hell you ended up where you are: Breathe, accept it and embrace the transitional period. That's where the joy is.
