Harvard Business Review - Oldie but Goodie: "Learn to Get Better at Transitions"

"There is a small, disheveled baby robin making her very first steps in my garden today. She looks a bit dazed and exhausted, her lovely yellow down all awry. I know exactly what she feels like. She looks like a lot of people I know right now. At almost every age, everyone seems to be on the cusp of a similar transition: taking their first steps into an uncertain and illegible new world."

This article goes on to navigate the conversation about transitions, up to and including looking at our possible 100-year life in 7-year segments. How will we use those chunks of years? Can we think about them more constructively in that length of time? Will this make us feel more urgent or let go?

Transitions are a part of everyone's life and career. Some we bring on ourselves and some invite themselves without asking. Either way, finding ourselves like a wobbly baby robin doesn't mean we are flawed or weak but that we are in transition and at the cusp of things!

Worthy reading no matter when you read it. This article has no age!
