Life is a series of chapters. Some chapters bring dramatic transformations while others are quieter, characterized by consistency rather than change. For many of us, these periods of relative calm can seem endless, particularly if we are yearning for change or if dissatisfaction clouds our perspective. However, these interims between significant shifts are more than just waiting periods. They are opportunities for learning, growth, and self-discovery.

It is natural to crave progress. Once we have experienced improvement or positive change in one area of our life, it can be tempting to seek out the next big thing. However, life doesn't work on a continuous upward trajectory. It often gives us what we need, not necessarily what we want.

These intervals between significant changes are valuable periods of assimilation. It's a time to adjust to new circumstances and grow comfortable with your evolving identity or situation. Despite an eagerness for more change, what you might truly require is time to acclimate. This waiting period, which could span months or even years, prepares you for future transformations.
