I say I want new.

New perspective.

New outcomes.

New level.

There’s a catch.

I have to make space for the new.

Otherwise I’m full.

Full of assumptions.

Full of past versions.

Full of patterns.

Full details that keep me stuck in place.

New can’t enter where there’s no room.

Not in my schedule.

Not in my system.

Not in my relationships.

Not in how I see others.

Or how I let them see me.

The loop of asking for change

while holding on to the past version

is repetition.

Making room for the new

means releasing the old.

The old view.

The old idea of what’s possible.

The old way I’ve defined people.

Even how I’ve defined myself.

Every new level

requires a new way of seeing.

New comes with a new view.

A new way of relating.

A new way of being seen.

What helps me change

is remembering:

I don’t need more new information.

I need new space.

I need new ideas.

I need to see you new.

Let you see me new.

When I make room for the new

I’m expanding the whole.
