Just when you think you have life figured out, just when you start to relax and get comfortable......that is when life changes course. Sometimes the changes are small and barely even felt...and sometimes the changes feel like an earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale. When change presents itself, I think our first reaction is always to plant our feet and stand our ground. We do not welcome that change and we tell it in no uncertain terms to pack it's bags and get on out of here. And the last laugh is always on us. Change happens. Life evolves. And so must we. We have to realize that things are different now. Old ways are gone and we have to move on, letting go of our resentments toward those changes.
The only way to navigate the change in the tides is to take a breath, stay calm and go with it. We can store some memories of the old days, but we can't spend time looking back and trying to get back there... .because those days are gone. If we spend too much time in stress, anger and frustration at what is coming our way...we might miss out on some new and equally happy moments. Change brings some bad and some good...and we just have to keep on swimming and not let it ruffle our feathers and believe that the universe has something wonderful in store for us.
“You can't stop the future
You can't rewind the past
The only way to learn the secret
...is to press play.”
~ Jay Asher
