Transitions and the disruption involved challenge people to concentrate on today and the moment. Seeing life's changes as being like changing seasons can help. Many people fail to realize that every transition begins with an ending. Life is a series of frequent changes. Transitions are times of crossing or traveling from something old and familiar to something new and unfamiliar.
Most transitions are small and pass by almost unnoticed.
Some, however, involve major disruptions in routines and force us to re-examine our values and lifestyle. They may be voluntary, like moving to a larger home, or involuntary, like an accident or illness. They may be predictable or unpredictable. Transitions and their disruption challenge us to grow and sometimes even force us to concentrate on today and the present moment. By examining the past, you can recall transition-making strengths you developed and uncover any unfinished business that may now prevent you from being your best.
