The Long Transition

Transition: The process or period of changing from one state or condition to another.

Transition can be such a tricky subject.  Some go into this process of change very consciously and others...not so much.  The way we view our lives has great impact on where we are going, how we get there, and who has control of it all along. 

Take for example the "go getter".  This person takes responsibility for her life.  She is constantly aware or seeking awareness of the state she is in.  She seeks to better herself and her circumstances based on her conscious knowledge of where she is and where she wants to be.  We envy this girl. We look at her and want to be more like her.

On the other end of the spectrum we have "the victim" (although they don't see themselves this way).  This person believes that life happens TO them.  The victim, he is not in control.  He is at the will of all of life's circumstances.  He believes that life is a state of chance, wishing and hoping that things will get better, but never believing that they will or that his choices control some of it. 

Both of these people have made a choice.  And both of them can make different choices.

The process or period of changing from one state or condition to another, for both, is not easy.  Around every corner is adversity, opposition, and challenge. Either way the choice and the life are not easy ones. The transition and the process are not easy ones, but in the end, the one that chooses conscious transition will experience more victories than the person who does not.
