That opportunity you are mourning the loss of - the one you just couldn’t take on or the one that dissipated too quickly - was not the shiny dream you thought it was. In fact, the promise held out in front of you was corrupted and pretty rotten to the core. The path you didn’t take was a crisis averted. It would have led you in a direction of barrenness and ill feeling. Truthfully, the loss of this has allowed for a greater and more fulfilling future and a different level of achievement that will fill you with fierce confidence and ownership. So, don’t hold on to it. You are not in the darkness - you are exploring a different shade of inner light. Focus on the support of your tribe and welcome the open space and time - you will soon fill it with something wildly better.
