Spaces with Morgan Harper Nichols

For the In-Between


Listen Later

There are times in life where we need to stay, and there are times where we need to go. And I hope that when it's time to go, firstly, you find peace. I also hope you find gratitude for this new, wide open space that you now have to breathe. Yes, you are stepping into new unknowns. You are stepping into a territory that you have never been before. And even though you feel that hint of courage rising up within you, sometimes the fear screams all too loud.
Sometimes the doubt that tells you you should be further along by now is the only thing you can hear as you travel the desert on tired feet. I hope in that space, you feel free to just be. To trust that there is no humanly way possible to make sense of every little thing between where you've been and where you hope to someday be. You are allowed to see this gap as space to roam free. This is a unique place in your story.
Trust it can still be beautiful. Trust it can still be meaningful, if you dare to look a little closer. Author Ronita Weems once said.
Time outs are for the precious little souls that need a period of time to compose themselves, gather their thoughts, calm down, think about what they are doing, and find their way back into the give and take of intimacy.
Let this space in-between be the space that you gravitate toward the grace that allows you to slow down and just be. Gather your thoughts and just be. You do not have to be in a rush to get to the next thing. Observe your surroundings closely and fully take in whatever lesson you need to take in right now. Write it all down.
You might not remember moments like this decades from now. But the wisdom you are gathering right here matters more than you know. And years from now, you will look back and you will see how you have grown. You will be grateful that you chose to surrender and let go.
Thank you for listening. And before we go, I would like to leave you with a question. You are free to take this question and write about it in your journal or just simply think about it throughout the day.
Journal: When was the last time you felt like you were in-between two seasons? What was the biggest lesson you learned?
