Change

Hello Readers,

Change has to happen, it is inevitable. Everything and every situation has a beginning bit, a middle bit and an end bit, there is no escaping this fact of life, however, change is something most of us shy away from because we find the prospect of it daunting or even scary and would prefer to remain ensconced in our warm, secure comfort zones.

We are all born creatures of habit. Each day we repeat our behaviour patterns. We dress the same way, we eat the same way, we drive the same make of car and decorate our homes year in and year out in the same uniform way. We have our daily routines and feel out of sync if we are forced to change any of these to accommodate other things, which is fine because we all need an element of normality and order to run our lives efficiently but without change, none of us would grow, evolve or learn anything new. A lot of us have to be led kicking and screaming into trying something new, but by sticking to our old tried and tested habits, we deny ourselves the opportunity of experiencing new things and discovering what we are really capable of achieving if only we would just have a go at trying.

A lot of people are very happy to remain in their safe rut whilst others are chomping at the bit to escape an old way of life because they feel trapped and imprisoned and fear stagnation. People are very fond of blaming their parents, their partners, their friends, their job, in fact almost anything but themselves. They refuse to blame themselves, it’s never their fault, it’s always someone else’s, but it’s always your fault because if you really wanted to change, you would do something about instigating it.

Change can come in many forms in our lives and very often unexpected events occur that force us take a good, long, hard look at ourselves. It might come as a devastating tragedy, illness, broken relationships or new opportunities.  Even though change can be difficult, it is very often for the best. Accomplishing anything great takes a tremendous amount of effort and is a real test of strength and character and it is by enduring significant changes that often push us to the limit where the greatest rewards are to be discovered. Many times the only way to improve our lives is to undergo difficult changes and that may involve leaving an old way of life behind. Dealing with uninvited change can be extremely difficult and painful in many cases, but whatever changes you are faced to deal with, know that how you cope will have an impact on your future.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually fearing that you may fail miserably, but there is no such thing as failure, only accomplishing yet another experience and learning valuable lessons in the process and every one has gone through some kind of experience that has changed them in a way that they could never go back to how they once were before.

By changing nothing, nothing changes.

Until Next Week,

Love And Light,
