When we’re younger, beginnings happen at an almost rapid-fire pace. We enter a new school, attend summer programs, meet new people, and learn various subjects. There are new and exciting possibilities that happen on their own.
But once you graduate and start working, the landscape changes. Instead of reaching a checkpoint every so often, you enter a wide expanse that never seems to end. You find yourself facing a long, continuing horizon that stretches out forever.
As we get older, we find ourselves gradually settling into the same jobs, the same relationships, and the same surroundings. The dust settles and a pattern emerges.
Unless we proactively do something, the status quo remains. That’s both the beauty and the curse of being in charge of our own lives: we can do as much or as little as we choose. It’s up to you to create beginnings.
