Our own attachments to what we are familiar with can keep us from moving forward in our lives. Moving into new areas of experience necessitates experimenting and recombining the known. If we want to swim in the water we have to leave the safety of the diving board.
It is fear that stands in our way so often. This can not only be fear of the unknown, but fear of loss. Even if we desire to move through and beyond a stage or a circumstance in our lives moving beyond is still a loss of the known. We need to place our faith in the unseen.
We need to be willing to lose something that feels familiar.
"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life because we enter into another."
Anatole France
