Embracing Change

CHANGE…. it occurred to me that CHANGE is something we both crave and also fear. I am not talking about small CHANGE….splitting CHANGE, CHANGING a diaper, a CHANGE of clothes, CHANGING of the season, CHANGING the laundry over, etc. No, I am talking about the things that we must CHANGE in our lives that impact us long-term and form the people we are to become. CHANGE is the choices we make that affect the paths we choose. CHANGE is what ultimately makes us who we are. From the moment we are conceived we are constantly CHANGING. And as the CHANGES in our lives become less obvious or frequent, we become comfortable and complacent. So then, we find ourselves fearing CHANGE. Even when we crave CHANGE, we still fear the CHANGE that may bring a new view, new feeling, new emotion, new experience because it is unknown. As scared as I am of CHANGE, I realize that the excitement of the unknown is much more enticing than the monotony of predictability.

Being on the brink of CHANGE is almost as if being born again, but with all of the knowledge you have already attained. How many of you would kill for another chance to do exactly what you want to do? Well, with a little CHANGE, anything is possible. So my arms are wide-open ready to embrace the CHANGE that lies in front of me. Let's see what happens…..-M
