Old Ways Won’t Open New Doors
What happens in the goo between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming
There’s a stretch of time that no one likes to talk about.
The goo.
The in-between.
The place where the old way has melted down but the new shape hasn’t quite formed.
It’s sticky and disorienting. You question everything.
Am I a fraud?
Is this leap worth it?
Why isn’t it working yet?
But here’s the truth: the goo isn’t proof you’re failing.
It’s proof you’re transforming.
Caterpillars don’t negotiate with their cocoon.
They dissolve. They surrender.
And only then do the wings unfold.
The old ways—built on scarcity, sacrifice, and silence—won’t open the doors you’re reaching for. But your willingness to stay in the goo, to keep showing up with gratitude and lean into the next shimmering step?
That’s the key in your hand.
Pause and ask yourself:
👉 What door am I still trying to open with an old key?
👉 Where can I surrender the outcome and trust that what blooms will be better than what I planned?
🔥 Daily Affirmation
I honor the goo as sacred.
I expand with courage in uncertainty.
I walk toward doors that are mine, carrying gratitude in one hand and trust in the other.
I am already becoming what I came here to be.
PS: Profit is Protest. Even in the goo, choosing trust over fear is an act of rebellion.

I’m neck deep in the goo and it’s awful, even knowing it’s only temporary.
