If you feel boxed in, that’s a good sign

A friend said it feels like his old life is trying to box him in to prevent him from moving into the new life.  I told him “It’s good news when you begin to feel boxed in, that just means you’re beginning to occupy more space than you did before.  Like being nervous to leave junior high for high school, or high school for college.  The change makes you nervous and excited at the same time.  This anxiety is just the greater part of you getting you in position for expansion.”  And you want to be more expanded, to have a more expanded experience available to you, to perceive a wider range of choices.  That’s when the fun begins.
