The adjacent possible

Sometimes, we find ourselves surrounded by harsh or unfavorable circumstances. 

It can feel difficult to persist in the face of such challenges. Perhaps we feel the need to fight for our survival, questioning if we have within us what we need to navigate an uncertain and unknown path.

Yet, deep within, we are better-resourced than we realize. What feels like a painfully slow process of growth and change may actually be a much-needed pace for our growth to happen sustainably while keeping us integrated and whole unto ourselves. 

What if we trusted ourselves to know that on the other side of surviving is the adjacent possibility of thriving? Then, perhaps, we might see that these harsh and unfavorable circumstances are here to illuminate our path.
