When a role no longer fits

Career · Little Light original

A role can have been right for you once and feel too small now. You may be grateful for what it taught you, fond of the people beside you, and still notice that you have stopped asking new questions. Gratitude can make that feeling difficult to admit. Start by understanding what is missing. More depth? More responsibility? A different kind of work? There may be a conversation or a new project that changes what is possible where you are. There may also be a point when you need to prepare for somewhere else. You do not have to turn the past into a mistake to justify a future that looks different. Learn what this season has given you. Make the next decision with care for your responsibilities and your growth. You can leave something good with respect, and still be moving towards a life that fits you better.
