Navigating the bridge between old and new isn’t something people talk about much. Nobody talks about the middle of the journey.
We celebrate beginnings—the excitement of a fresh start, the first step on a new path. And we celebrate endings—the relief of arriving. But what about the space in between? The part where you’ve stepped away from the old, but the new hasn’t fully revealed itself yet?
That’s where the bridge lives.
Trusting the Bridge: Embracing Life’s In-Between Moments
The Bridge Charm symbolizes transition. It reminds us that just because we’re not at the finish line yet doesn’t mean we’re lost–far from it. Maybe you’ve left behind a job, a relationship, an identity, or even a belief that no longer fits. You may be stepping into something bigger, but don’t quite have your footing set in stone yet.
That in-between space can feel like limbo or a world bright with possibility–it’s all about how you choose to embrace it.
Think of Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade—standing at the edge of a chasm, knowing the only way across is to trust that the bridge will appear beneath his feet. What if you trusted that, too?
Walking the Bridge: Embracing Uncertainty and Moving Forward
Too often, we convince ourselves that we should have everything figured out. That uncertainty means we’re doing something wrong. But the truth? The bridge appears as you walk. You don’t have to see the whole path to keep moving forward.
Have you ever looked back at a past version of yourself and thought, Wow, I didn’t know how things would work out, but they did? That’s the bridge in action. You’ve done this before. You’ll do it again.
Right now, you might be between what was and what’s next. But remember—a bridge is a connection. Not an ending. Not a void. It’s a sign that something new is waiting on the horizon.
Something to Take With You
- What’s your bridge right now?
- Where in your life are you between the old and the new?
- Instead of fearing the unknown this week, ask yourself:
- What if the bridge is already beneath me?
- What if I trust that each step leads me somewhere I’m meant to be?
Because, my friend—it is.
Ever Upward!
