The Threshold
Stepping through the gap of “what was” and “what will be”.
There are times that we find ourselves standing upon the threshold - the ledge between what was and what's next. But too often, we walk across the threshold without stopping to acknowledge that we're crossing it.
This is a simple reminder to pause when you find yourself upon the threshold.
Look behind you. Take note of what was. Remind yourself where you started.
But also look ahead. See what will be. Imagine the future you're about to step into.
The pause is important, because once you cross the threshold, you're quickly swept up into the new. There are certainly other thresholds before you, ones that you will cross in the future - but you'll only cross this one once, so enjoy the moment.
Once you've paused, the work then is to set your sights on the next threshold to cross.
(A huge hat tip to everyone involved in helping us cross this threshold - you know who you are!)
