And sure, upgrading means vulnerability.

It means accepting that the unknown is bigger than you, but also contains within it everything you need.

Whether it was people, things, money, resources, I used to think like that, see?

How can I hold on to what I have?

contain, play small.

I can't lose this.

I've come too far.

I've worked too hard.

What if everything goes wrong?

I can't upgrade now.

Maybe later.

Maybe someday when the time is right.

When it won't hurt or require that I step outside of this little world I've created.

But guess what?

Growth always asks of us that we leave the comfort of now.

It always offers us the world in exchange for the courage to see the unseen and trust ourselves to bring it to life.

And when I realized this, I saw how the act of trying to perpetually maintain the status quo is debilitating.

It's looking at life through a lens of scarcity.

It's only when you start to grasp how abundant life is that you realize by simply stepping into that person you are destined to be, you'll attract what matters.

Some things will go.
