One door closes

This week has been a turning point for me. I have handed in my resignation to my employer and after months of looking forward to doing this, when the time finally came and the conversation was complete I felt quite flat and even slightly teary!
There is a whole new adventure waiting for me in my coaching career and I am certainly looking forward to devoting more time to creating my new business and finishing my training.
As with many areas of ones live, there are different emotions with closing one door and walking through to the next. Just like with some friendships and even marriages, they can come and go, but the memories are forever there to think back on and cherish all the happy times.
Being at a point in life where we grow out of relationships and careers, does not lesson the commitment that was there at the time. It is a natural progression, to grow and change and eventually there comes a time to move on.
So as I am sad to finish working with people who I have spent much time with over the years, I am very satisfied that I have made the commitment to myself to allow myself to grow and develop. I have taken one more step into the future and know I will enjoy what unfolds. I have already made that decision, that it is up to me and I will have loved every minute even the challenging ones. For to look back in years to come and be saddened by not trying something new, would be so much harder to live with than the fear I may have of taking that step forward.
