Transitions In Life

Transitions In Life

Studies show that, on average, we go through Transitions In Life three dozen times in our lifetime.  That averages to a transition every twelve to eighteen months, a frequency that's MORE OFTEN than most people see a dentist.  More than just the birth of a baby OR a wedding that deserves to be celebrated, there is a long list of transitions which we'd rather abhor💵💴💷

A health issue in the family, an imminent divorce, litigations in court, a financial bankruptcy, even going jobless or worst, ending up penniless, OR knock on wood, a major conflict with a protagonist that may have serious repercussions/ramifications to either parties.  OR when force majeure kicks in, catastrophic circumstances caused by natural disasters, OR even that recent dreaded Covid-19 pandemic📗📙📘

Now, we got to tackle two things that do impact our life, namely DISRUPTORS and LIFEQUAKES.  The number of CHANGES happening in our life is damn quickening, the pace we're going through them is faster and our breadth of life experiencing them is much wider.  The basic unit of CHANGE is a DISRUPTOR because it's value neutral.  DISRUPTORS can either be positive OR negative though📌📌📌

You can be becoming an 'EMPTY NESTER' OR getting married OR getting sober OR retiring.  You can also be getting a diagnosis or losing a job, NO thanks to that pandemic.  As we go through those three dozens of transitions in life, DISRUPTORS may rise to the level of LIFEQUAKES❎❎❎

That Covid pandemic, that was a LIFEQUAKE, a massive source of CHANGE that lasted for four years.  LIFEQUAKES tend to clump up, that 'pile-up' phenomenon.  Just when you lose your job, you wreck your car and then your parent needs surgery.  WHAT's our takeaway today?  THAT the idea of a one job, one relationship, one home, one source of happiness, all these are gone and all replaced by a NONLINEAR life with many more twists and turns and transitions.  So, the pace of TRANSITIONS IN LIFE is quickening.  GOT TO PACE with it❗❗❗
