Transcript

There is a moment, just before you step into a new room, when you pause, your hand might already be on the handle, on the door handle. You may see the light from the other side spilling through the gap. You know that once you cross, when you step through, things might change, perhaps a little bit, perhaps a lot.

That moment, that quiet pause, is what I call the threshold. It is a small line between what has been and what is about to begin. And you can stand there for a long time, thinking, analyzing, waiting for certainty.

But certainty doesn't live on the threshold. Clarity rarely shows up before the step. It arrives because of the step.

This is the Personal Development Mastery Podcast. I am your host, Agi Keramidas. Today's message is short, personal, and meant for you.

Especially if you feel that the next chapter is calling, but you haven't quite moved yet. Maybe you've felt this before, a quiet nudge that says something in your life is shifting. Perhaps you've already achieved much of what you once aimed for.

The career, the stability, the external success. And yet, a part of you whispers that there's something more. Not necessarily bigger, but deeper, more true, more aligned.

A few years ago, I remember standing on the edge of the sea one morning. I was still living in Greece, in my home country. The sun had just risen.

The air was fresh and the water looked freezing. So I stood there for a while, thinking perhaps I should wait, maybe until the sun went further up or the water was warmer. But something inside me said, just go in.

And I took a breath and stepped forward. The first few seconds, once I dived in, was sharp. You know, it was shocking.

The water was cold. And then very quickly, something shifted. My breath deepened.

My body adjusted. And a wave of energy, rusting, came up. What looked uncomfortable a moment ago, now felt alive, refreshing, almost exhilarating.

That morning taught me something I have never forgotten. That the hardest part isn't the cold water. It is the step into it.

Coming back to the threshold, I was saying. The threshold is that space between knowing and acting. Between awareness and courage.

And here's the thing. The longer you linger at that doorway, at that threshold, the heavier the handle feels. You might be waiting for a perfect sign, or for things to align, or for everything to feel ready.

But readiness isn't a feeling. It is a decision. Sometimes all it takes is one conscious step.

Even a small one, to shift everything. Because once you move, momentum joins you. Life meets you halfway.

And suddenly what felt uncertain becomes clearer. Simply because you began. Before I continue, a special shout out today to my listeners in Greece, my home country.

Athena, Kriti, I see you. I appreciate you and I thank you. For being part of the journey.

It means a lot to know that my voice travels across to my homeland and finds you where you are. And so, coming back to what I was saying. If you find yourself standing at a threshold right now, maybe it's a decision, a transition, a calling for something more meaningful.

Take this as your invitation. The next chapter of your life won't write itself. You have to turn the handle.

And if you like some guidance as you step into that next chapter, I invite you to explore what coaching together could look like. Visit personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com slash mentor. Fill in your details and I will personally get back to you very soon.

Clarity. Confidence. Courage.

They don't appear by waiting. They appear when you move. The door is open.

Step through. Thank you for listening, for supporting the podcast and for taking action today. Stand out.

Don't fit in.
