Passing through a threshold may require staring down doubt, arming our selves with information, or passing some other kind of self-initiation before moving through.

Some coaches approach these passages with trepidation, some with ceremonious preparation, while others seem to skip their way through successive thresholds with ease, moving onto the next thing without pause. While this last way may sound freeing, significant personal growth is possible whenever obstacles are surmounted. There is no right way except to honor your pace and the opportunities you are ready to face.
