You go through the day to day.

And everything moves along, pretty much the same.

Until, one day, the status quo is…well…no longer fine.

It could be a colleague moving to a new job, one they really, really want.

It could be the pants that no longer fit (but wait…wasn’t that extra brownie “free”?).

It could be great friends getting married and moving far away.

It could be your sister starting a family.

It could be a friend beginning a long-planned advanced degree – as you continue to stay in a job you feel is “just okay.”

It could be realizing that the price you pay for the life you thought was fine suddenly seems too high.

Whatever it is, discomfort with the status quo begins to build.

That’s when change seems the easier way, and though it may be difficult, ultimately, the better play.

It’s not much fun…that growing discomfort…but it ultimately leads to a very productive day.

And then that’s when the balance tips.

And positive change – leading more directly to the life you really want now – gets fully and finally underway.
