Source of Change

They say “Change is Inevitable”, but lets really think about that phrase. Is change really some magical thing that happens naturally over time? Is change the direct result of an action or inaction? Are you conscious of change?

I will be the first to admit that I’ve struggled with change. I lived in spaces where once things were set to how I like them, I became extremely comfortable. If there was any indication of change I was sent into a fury trying to hold onto the ways that made me feel safe and secure. Change was unpredictable, scary, and annoying at times. I disliked being in a spaces where I felt I did not have some control or a heads up of what was to come.

It took some time for me to fully understand the beauty of change. I thank growth for that realization. Now “Change is Mandatory” for me. It allows for new experiences, self development, and shifts in perspective. I have become more comfortable with accepting change and often I am craving it. The pivotal point for me was understanding that I held the key to change. I had options! I could decide to do whatever I wanted at any moment in my life. Of course with careful consideration.

Literally a whole new world opened up for me. I could change my characteristics, perspective, and career, If and when I chose to. These days I create the changes in my life. I no longer wait for the world to do its thing and force me to do mine. I no longer wait for society to tell me how to live my life. It takes great introspection and accountability to accept this is the true reality of life.
