Off the Cuff

Things change and things can be and get scary.  When I am comfortable having that comfort disturbed it’s a frightening prospect.  It’s the nature of the beast.  It’s the craving of security.  It’s all those things but it’s also more.  Change shakes you up and reminds you that there is more to do.  More to see.  More to experience.

Change can be painful.  Fact.  And not all change is good.  Also fact.  And change can be used as a tool to refocus a person on their life.  Also fact, even if it is a difficult one.  But the one constant in this world is that there is no constant which is why change needs to be used as productively as possible towards happiness.

Change can be exciting when it’s embraced.  There have been a lot of changes of late and now that I’ve gotten a chance to sit and reflect on them this is my exact plan: to embrace the change and move forward.  Things happen, as they tend to do, and sometimes it’s just best to let them occur and treat them like a big reset button on your life goals, even if pressing it is the most difficult thing you can do.

The changes, these changes, will affect others greater than myself so maybe it’s easier for me to embrace them and take a positive from amidst the pile but maybe when something weighs heavily on me in the future, as I’m sure it will, I can take this self-taught lesson and get strength from it.  Everything is a process.  Things take time.  So I’m sure I won’t get it right the first time, no one will.  Or the second.  Or the third.  You see where that is headed but if you are able to use change as a tool then life will always be exciting.
