If Nothing Is Permanent, Then Anything Is Possible

If nothing is permanent than anything is possible.This concept came to me via the podcast How She Really Does It where Koren Motekaitis interviewed Kelly Rae Roberts. Kelly Rae was exactly my age when two major things came into her life - a running program for a 1/2 marathon and being swept up in art making. At the time she was a social worker, burning out on the job and in the past 7 years has left that career for one where she is a full-time artist.Now I know there's no silver bullet, but don't you think that's interesting the Universe popped that podcast into my ears this week?Because I've been thinking about my job and my life. I am feeling like I've grown too big, like my shell is too tight and it's time to find a new home. Like I want to do something new. And I feel like I'm suffering from "impostor syndrome". Did I dupe everybody? How could I want to move on from a job that I basically fell into? Do I ever deserve this gig? And aren't I being horribly ungrateful to look this gift horse in the mouth...?I mean, the pay, the flexibility and the network I've built - that would be a lot to give away to start over. Starting to feel a scarcity approach from myself - like I need to hold on to this position in almost a desperate way, because what else would ever beat it? What if it disappears?At the retreat, someone mentioned that that you can grow up (bigger) or down (deeper). I'd never heard it put this way, but it resonated with the images I had for my year - that I not only wanted to grow tall like a tree, but I wanted to grow roots, a solid foundation.Then a colleague called me up with an idea for responsibilities I could take off his plate. Responsibilities that could expand my role. And I thought up a very simple series I could create to spotlight my clients, which I started on today.So, maybe it's not about going bigger but deeper.And as Kelly Rae said in the podcast - if nothing is permanent, then anything is possible.Have you ever thought about growing *down*? Is there a place in your life you've gone deeper instead of bigger?
