To live is to change! Being afraid to change is being afraid to live. Learn how to say yes to embracing change despite your fears.
This life lesson is from Pursuing Happiness, 20 Life Lessons book, available on Amazon now.
Conscious change is the solution to an unfulfilling and unhappy life.
As you can see everything on our planet - Earth - changes every second - including me, you - our pains and pleasures, wants and desires, our wounds heal, grass grows, and the cycle continues
But, we normally deal with change in two ways
Either change happens and we react to it, OR we plan for it.
Some things changed in my body over the years, and I am now reacting to my diabetes problem.... I was ignorant to eat all those carbs thinking that nothing would happen to me.
However, proactively, I got myself out of a routine lifestyle in California and now live in a paradise-like place in Hawaii.
So, here's my thoughts about change:
Change is always good. It's necessary for us to grow and learn. The outcome can be good or bad and that is as a result of our own decisions and actions. But, even bad outcomes will challenge our mind and bring adventure and fun to our life.
Our life and everything in it will change anyhow. Reacting to change causes a little bit of pain and discomfort, but if we proactively plan for the change, we can have an opportunity to create a better and a happier future.
The reason why we are afraid of change is because our mind creates fears around the change we want to bring.
Knowing that most of those fears are imaginary or fake, it can help us to not be afraid of change. And, With a plan for dealing with the worst case scenario , we are armed to challenge our fears and change anyway.
What is the last or a major change of your life that you glad you embraced?
This is the life lesson for today.
Until I see you again,
Aloha!
Conscious change is the solution to an unfulfilling and unhappy life.
To live is to change! Being scared of change is being afraid to live!
You and everything around you changes every second of the day. You are just too busy to notice it!
Every second ticked and gone is gone. The next second is a new tick and a new life.
