A reason, a season, or a lifetime
When we are on a journey of growth and self-development, whether through life coaching for transformation or through our own self-study, the process isn’t always easy. In fact, it can raise real areas of tension: perhaps we have to face the cold, hard truth of how much we have been neglecting ourselves. Maybe the deeper reasons for why we behave and think as we do come to the surface and pinch. And, what happens more often than not, is we realise we are outgrowing certain people in our lives.
The people could be friends, romantic partners, and even family members who we never imagined living without. But as we step into transformational growth, this can often spotlight ways in which we are no longer aligned some of the most important people in our lives.
Although this can feel uncomfortable, it’s important to remember your own agency in this; you are not forced to stay in relationships that drain you; or friendships you invest in but get nothing back.
If we can acknowledge that is our choice whether we hold on or move on, we can take back control and learn to let go with nothing but peace, love and gratitude.
And in all this, I’m reminding of the saying, “People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.”
It’s perfectly okay to loosen the grip on the ‘reason’ and ‘season’ relationships.
