The Mess in the Middle

In any big change in life, the mess in the middle is a tough place to be. It is where there is no going back but the thought of moving forward is just generally overwhelming. It is where the hidden problems underneath are revealed and cleaned out. It can be painful. It is where the hard work happens that leads to new things, growth.

Don’t overlook this middle part. It is important.

There is so much ugliness in the mess that you might have to look harder to find beauty and hope. But it is always there whether we choose to see it or not. Don’t miss it.

Today, I am choosing to see the good. Choosing hope. Choosing trust. Choosing faith.

The middle is not the end.
