Greetings!
That feeling when everything hits all at once. I'm seeing it everywhere lately.
So many friends, clients, and family members are being pressed to their limits. I've certainly bumped into a few of mine too - and I know how disorienting it can feel when everything you thought was solid suddenly shifts.
AI is disrupting career paths, and no one knows how many fields will change. Some individuals have lost their jobs overnight. Recent graduates, degrees fresh in hand, find entry level positions vanishing. Information and technology sectors change at unfathomable speeds.
Yet for all that speed, we are still human, grappling with our vulnerabilities.
Several friends, grieving the loss of a loved one, feel as if their hearts are torn open, still walking but disconnected as they take on the next task. One client, confronted with her partner's dire diagnosis, must contend with planning the various scenarios as the disease progresses. Another is juggling unsatisfying work while also transitioning an elderly parent into assisted living.
These things can't be sped up.
Some individuals recognize their need to integrate AI into their businesses or workflow or be outpaced by the competition, intentionally take on personal growth. Steep learning curves and urgency flame the fires of their fears. Others take on self-improvement for health working on exercise routines, managing sleep, work-life balance, or expanding their circle of friends.
Change, even when self-imposed, can be hard and downright painful.
If we were able to ask a monarch butterfly going through metamorphosis whether it was easy and comfortable, I'm confident that the answer would be, "ah, no!" Since when does forming a chrysalis, changing your entire body form and squeezing your way to freedom and learning how to fly, sound like an easy job?!
In the process of transformation – we pass through darkness, ambiguity, and uncertainty.
