Change is inevitable—resist it and you struggle, flow with it and you grow.
“There is nothing constant in the universe. All ebb and flow, and every shape that’s born, bears in its womb the seeds of change.” ~ Ovid
Change happens! Many changes are so incremental we don’t notice them. It takes time and effort, for example, to put on an extra 15 pounds. It happens quietly without disturbing us. Try to take the 15 pounds off right away and change and we feel it. Dieting is a painful reaction to change. Some changes are sudden and unexpected. They can be good news or tragic news. Either way, our lives take a dramatic turn. People who can accept change and learn to flow with it find it easier to navigate through life. People who resist change often find themselves caught in emotional storms of their own creation. Learning to flow with helps us adapt to the changes in our lives. A question we can ask ourselves is, how can I make this change work for me? When we view change this way, we toss away our sense of powerlessness and embrace a sense of powerfulness. We realize we have a say in our destiny. Once we understand what the change is and how it affects us, we can work with it to our benefit. Become change’s partner and you’ll see a positive difference.
