Struggling against this moment is struggling against the entire universe.” -Deepak Chopra

TRANSITION zones are those sacred-yet-sometimes-daunting places in life where profound growth can occur. Ease into this period, even if it’s not your initial instinct. Just outside your comfort zone is precisely where the magic lies. “Transition zones in our lives are incredibly rich places. They should be honored, even savored.
