In-Transition

If you've been out and around recently, you've heard the term "In Transition". Of course, if you are “In Transition” this means that you are seeking employment: which means you’ve been recently fired. (Fired/Let-go. Tomato/To-ma-do.) I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Why do we say ‘in transition’? When you think about it, we are always in some kind of transition”.

When we are young, we think about a time when we will just sit and relax. When we do get older, we realize that the time of sitting back and relaxing doesn’t really seem to exist. If it does, it doesn’t last long. We’ll always have some kind of problem or be in some ever-changing situation. The meaning is still has the same connotation: we are searching for the next thing.

In that sense, I guess I’m in transition as well. I am searching for new business, another hobby (that is less expensive than earning educational degrees), and the next event with my friends. I would go so far as to say, if you are not transitioning, I worry for you. To be transitioning is to have movement in your life. Sitting in the same place may be comfortable for a little bit, but gets you nowhere in the long-run. Now… Get in Transition!
