"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies." ~ Author Unknown
"We must learn to view change as a natural phenomenon ~ to anticipate it and to plan for it. The future is ours to channel in the direction we want to go... we must continually ask ourselves, 'What will happen if...?' or better still, 'How can we make it happen?' " ~ Lisa Taylor
Change has always scared me in the past, I'm like most people who want to be in control. I had to go through lesson after lesson in my life to learn to embrace change, it is the only way I can live up to my potential.
When I go with the change knowing that it is the only way I can grow, I've been inspired to do, say or write something that someone has needed to hear. I'm grateful when someone is opened to change, they inspire me. Isn't that we want to do, inspire and uplift each other?
I have had endless opposition lately, I was fighting it, now I say bring it on! I know where I'm supposed to be in my life, I'm not afraid. I will do what is asked of me, I will go where I'm guided to go. I am stronger then the fear, my resistance is gone.
I forgot what it was that brought me to where I was supposed to be, I started thinking I wasn't good enough, I was sure I didn't deserve all of the wonderful opportunities that were placed in front of me. I nearly pushed it away. That is fear, I am done listening to that weak side of me. I am going to remember that being positive, happy and uplifting drew exactly what I wanted into my life.
I deserve the best, I deserve exactly what I want and I'm NOT giving up until I get what I want. Whatever I want also wants me; this is my new motto from Jack Canfield. What I want is excellent and an opportunity of forever. I have asked, I believe and I will receive.
"Change has long been a fearful thing for human beings ... and at the same time, it is our most Divine opportunity. Clinging to the banks of the river may seem safe and more secure, but life's possibilities are truly engaged only when we trust, release and become part of The Flow of the Universe." ~ Chelle Thompson, Editor of Inspiration Line
people can chenge, i gree for that
ReplyDeletePeople can change... it's best if they want to accept the change, so much easier :)
DeleteI am the opposite, I love to give up control. Ride the waves. Believe me, you can't get through life like that either. Life requires a combination of the two. The ability to take charge,and the ability to ride the waves of change. Glad you are feeling betteer.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamiessmiles; I want to be less in control... that way I can progress to my potential :)
DeleteThis is a real sore spot for me. I like control. I like to know what's coming. to be organized and ready. I get nervous if I have to go somewhere new. I was sure put to the test last December when I had to go on my first book-signing tour. For two weeks, I travelled to cities I was unfamiliar with and talked to hundreds of people I didn't know. And survived. Now I know I can do it.I'm still not comfortable with change. With new things. But now I know I can survive. Thank you for this post. It was inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane, I appreciate your kind words about my post being inspiring. The older I get the less control I want, it has been a really big learning experience.
DeleteHello Launna:
ReplyDeleteIt is so important to recognise, as clearly you are doing, that change in life is inevitable and that though accepting it we become more fulfilled as individuals.
Hi Jane and Lance, I am glad I finally realized that by accepting change, I will actually grow more :)
DeleteDo not give up Launna!
ReplyDeleteI also go through situations that I think does not deserve.
We all have dilemmas and we must not stop in front of them but learn from them.
