Rites of Passage

Many cultures, across history, had rites of passage.
Not for ceremony.
For identity.

A moment that marked the shift from one life stage to another.
Child to adult. Outsider to insider. Observer to leader.

But today?
Most of us skip the ritual.
Even so—we still feel the shift.

A rookie walks into the locker room for the first time.
An entrepreneur signs the lease.
A new executive realizes everyone’s waiting for her call.

These are modern rites.
Unspoken. Unsanctioned.
But identity-altering.

The best don’t ignore them.
They mark them.

They say, “This is who I am now.”
And then they act like it.

So…who are YOU now?
What moments do you need to mark?
