Older siblings’ hand-me-downs are too big until one day they fit. Some roles work the same way.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Things sized for who you will be feel wrong on who you are now, and that mismatch is temporary. A responsibility handed over too early is uncomfortable rather than impossible, and you grow into it by wearing it a while, until one day it stops feeling borrowed. Nobody feels ready in advance.

Take on something slightly too big this week. The shift lead, the group project, the younger kids’ session, the thing people have started asking you about. Expect it to fit badly for a month, and keep wearing it anyway.
