âForget about what you might have lost and focus on what you have room to gain.â â Lindsey Rietzsch
Life has a way of shifting when we least expect it. One moment, things feel stable â the relationship feels solid, the job feels secure, the dream seems within reach. And then suddenly⌠itâs gone.
Maybe it was a breakup you didnât see coming.
Maybe a career move that didnât unfold the way you hoped.
Maybe it was losing a version of yourself you truly loved â the confident, driven, grounded you.
Itâs easy to get stuck in that space. To replay it. To wonder what you couldâve done differently. To grieve not just what you lost, but who you were when you had it.
But hereâs the thing:
Loss may shake your foundation, but it doesnât erase your future.
What feels like an ending could be the beginning of a breakthrough you never saw coming.
There is still joy ahead â joy you thought youâd never feel again.
There is still growth waiting â a version of you that is stronger, wiser, and more aligned with your purpose than ever before.
There is still so much for you to gain.
So take a breath.
Loosen your grip on whatâs behind you.
And start leaning into whatâs next â even if you canât see it clearly yet.
Your past may echo, but it doesnât get the final word.
Let your future speak louder. Let it unfold.
Youâre not starting over â youâre starting from experience. And thatâs powerful.
