Change. It gets a bad rap. People run from it. People rather stay in their situations and be miserable because they are afraid of it. It keeps us up at night and gives us stomach troubles but it's really inevitable. Without change, you'd still be dating Mr. Wrong. Without change, you'd still be drinking milk in a bottle. Without change, you'd still be rotary dialing instead of texting on your phone. Without change, it would be hot in Miami the whole year. Okay, you get the picture. Change is good and although we may resist it, kicking and screaming, it's usually good for us, generally speaking. It opens up opportunities, closes doors we shouldn't go through, etc...
This is one of the "inspirational" messages I have in my craft area. It's an illustration from Mary Engelbreit that really speaks volumes in its simplicity. This can mean forgetting, forgiving or moving forward but it definitely means something is going to change. And it starts with "self."
As I look at it everyday, little by little I just started adding words of things in life that we can do better without: things that stunt our growth, retard success and keep us dwarfed emotionally. Feelings that oppress us, lies we accept and poisons we may sip daily. Things that steal our joy and ruin our dreams. I don't want any of it!
Think about it. What's holding you back? A new beginning is on the horizon, set yourself free!
I'm ready.
