When Change Doesn’t Announce Itself - It Whispers

It started with a whisper - faint but certain - “update your resume”. Not a shout. Not even urgency. Just a whisper that arrived on an ordinary day. I almost brushed it off, but something in me paused long enough to listen.

That quiet nudge wasn’t about leaving anything behind - it was about preparing for what was already shifting ahead of me. Because that’s how change works. It rarely makes a scene; it moves gently, waiting for you to catch on.

So many of us are standing in uncertain spaces right now. Roles are changing, industries are evolving, and sometimes we’re left wondering where we fit next. But here’s the truth I’ve learned:

Update your resume before you need to.

There’s nothing harder than trying to tell your story, or believe in your own value, in the silence that follows a job loss. Do it while you still remember the wins, the moments of impact, and the things that made you proud to show up every day. So I opened my laptop, updated a line, fixed a few dates, rewrote my summary. Nothing monumental. But by the time I finished, I realized I wasn’t just revising words - I was realigning with a future version of myself that was already waiting.

Change doesn’t have to be loud to be life-changing. Sometimes it starts as a whisper, a reminder that your next chapter deserves to be written before someone else turns the page for you.

So if you’ve been hearing that quiet voice lately, maybe this is your sign. Listen. Open the document and ask , “Are you ready to meet the next version of yourself"?”

And when you say yes, even softly - even uncertainly - the Universe Moves.

Ever listening,

Me

Writer of stars, stories, and the spaces in between.
