There are moments in life when you are no longer living fully in the old paradigm (e.g., success) but have yet found a practical way to live in a new and better paradigm. In such time, one often feels directionless and easily focuses on the negatives that leads to a loss of faith. Therefore, the transition between ending the old glory chapter and starting a new more uncertain adventure requires tremendous help and support from others. Getting help requires the courage to be vulnerable and is therefore always a big leap of faith to take. But, that is the core of living a purposeful life, leaps of faith along with profound practicality to translate good intentions to impact.
