To modify or not to modify?.... That is the question

Great morning.

Every change is not perfect but it helps get you closer to where you are supposed to be.

When the weather changes we change also. The clothes we wear are different because we have to adjust to be able to adapt to the new climate. Life is the exact same way. We have to change in order to adapt to what is going on in your life. We have done this forever but it seems like the older we get the less we want to change. I don’t know if it’s because we think we are fine just the way we are or because we are afraid of change. I tend to lean more towards the latter. There are times that change can be seen as being vulnerable. We would basically have to strip ourselves of the old ways and put on new ways that we are unfamiliar. We are use to handling situations in a certain way and although we may not always get the same result, we are comfortable with the approach used. Even when we get advice, we just apply a little to what we already know just to test. What we don’t understand is that we are not really using that advice because if it even looks as if that is not going to work we will switch right back over to how we normally operate. Why are we so afraid to let go? I mean seriously we act as if we let we will be stabbed and killed. We have all endured pain and lived through it. The more we fight change the bigger the wall we build that will not allow forward movement. People tell me all the time of the things that they want in their lives but their actions dictate something else. EX: I know someone that says that they want to someday be married and have kids. Yet all of their actions dictate that they want to be single. They push people away. You can’t ask them anything without them being very cryptic with all of their answers. Asking them about their feelings is like asking them for their Social Security Number….. They even say that when they marry the will have to change and will be willing to do so.  My question is who is going to stay around long enough for you to marry them? If you keep pushing someone away, that person will eventually leave. I think this person is great but if they are not willing to change that part the possibility of marriage is slim. I am by no means saying just let it all go and whatever happens just happens. What I am saying is if we are able to make small changes, it will enable more possibilities of getting to our goals. Change is clearly up to the person. I know that change can lead to great things. I attempt to take any opportunity to strip the old and put on new if it’s going to continue my journey. I stripped away potential bitterness and anger and put on faith and happiness. I have yet to regret that decision. Let’s evaluate our lives to see where we can make little changes. We never know what doors we may open when we are open……

Have an awesome day!

And remember there are two days of the week we have no control over…… yesterday and tomorrow. Today is the only day we can change.

MAKE IT GREAT
