Hi {{ first name | reader }},
When you’ve been through a bunch of personal transition
As I have over the past few years
It’s fascinating how much easier it is to accept facts
Than it was even a few months before.
It’s like being in a dark room
And suddenly opening the blackout shades to the bright sun
You’re going to stumble
Feel super cranky
Wobble
But eventually your pupils dilate
You make out the edges of the room
And eventually recognize the reality of the place.
Mind you, it isn’t a new area
It’s where you’ve already been for a bit
You just see the details that were hiding in plain sight 🕵🏽♂️
Sound familiar?
Over 4 million people have had the same lightbulb moment.
Morning Brew is a free daily newsletter that breaks down what's happening in business, finance, and tech — clearly, quickly, and with enough personality to make it the best email in your inbox.
No yelling. No filler. Just the news, finally making sense.
Now, we wouldn’t get mad at ourselves in a suddenly bright space
We know our eyes will take a minute to adjust.
We take it as a normal physical response
Not as a personal failure.
So what if we took our emotional response to transition in the same way
Accepting that the messy, gooey middle is just our heart shifting gears
Climatizing to the newly lit reality
Making out the environment
Seeing the truth
Instead of expecting our soul to swallow the major change in an instant?
How much better would we be towards accepting our new lives?
How would we be kinder to others as we got our bearings?
How much kinder would we be to ourselves?
If yelling at our eyes to adjust faster doesn’t help in a dark room
Then why would the same thing work for our hearts? ❤️🩹
