Intention, Discipline, Possibility.

The ‘Space Between’ is an image that can help orient us to the context in which we lead: it is a journey—day by day, moment by moment—of navigating this space from where we are to where we’d like to be. This does not suggest you and I are not where we want to be today. But it frames the tension of where we are and what we hope the future might hold.

This navigating is marked by multiple relationships (with self and others), conversations, decisions, opportunities, challenges, hopes, setbacks. You know well what sorts of things are characterising the Space Between for you.

So, how might we navigate well this Space Between? This space we find ourselves in today and where we hope to get to and, at least, be moving toward?

Possibility: how do you imagine where you’d like to be? What do you see? What are you hearing? What is around you? What is no longer present? What might be a few steps—that can be taken today, this week, this month—toward that vision of possibility?

Intention: What might be a few steps you take today, this week, this month toward that vision of possibility? What are the values that are driving those steps?

Discipline: As you move forward—step by step—how might you resource yourself to stay curious, courageous and committed? Who can support you? What might you need to hold on to or let go of as you move forward?

Navigating the Space Between sometimes feels like you’re in flow and things are just working and ticking along. Sometimes its disorienting, fragmented, clunky, frustrating, zapping. Often its a blend of all this.

See how stepping forward with a vision of what might be possible and how you might step forward with intention and discipline can resource you to navigate the Space Between today. Then try again tomorrow.
