Change Is A Guarantee And Those Who Can Flow With It Are Free
Change is an inevitable process. Whether we're prepared or not - it will happen. Resistance is futile . . . opposing change is a stubborn act; a refusal to live in present time. Failure to adapt is certain death and although it may not be a physical death, it applies to us spiritually, emotionally, financially, etc.
Almost two years ago, I left an abusive relationship. For 13 years I promised myself to make it work against all odds. Regardless of what family or friends advised, I stayed true to my word. All indicators pointed to the fact the man I was with wasn't faithful and to make matters worse, we have children together.
I was so resistant to change because I feared the unknown, that I wouldn't be loved or that leaving would make me a bad mother. I was so self-righteous that I ignored the signs of abuse. I punished myself by striving for perfection. If the dishes weren't washed - I was bad. If I raised my voice at him - I was bad.
But something happened to me one day. I was at the store shopping for groceries and I couldn't decide what to buy because I was consumed by what he would say - could I make the right decision without him? And this is when I knew a change was needed. At some point in our lives, we must accept responsibility for our condition. It's not easy, but necessary.
A shift in our perception is paramount to seeing life from a new perspective. We must have a willing heart to see a better vision, accept and forgive the errors we've made and start anew. Truth will always win and with truth comes change.
Change is simply stopping what you don't want or need and starting again with the new.
What change are you resisting or what change are you ready to make?
