You would think change would be easy for someone like me having moved cross country six different times. I have always been that person where if I didn't like something; a relationship or a situation that is not working for me, I would change it. Rip off the bandaid and move on, leaving red marks intact.
But...when life has a different story to be told that I am not prepared for, I freeze.
See, when I AM making the change I have the illusion that I'm in control. When life makes the change good or bad; I start to back peddle and analyze, doubt and allow my monkey mind to dictate how I'm going to handle said change, instead of going with the flow. Change will also show up in physical form if I try to push back and ignore what is. Fear will always show up in the power chakra; regarding the lower back and bladder. To make it more exciting; on the off times when you forget to throw your hands in the air like you just don't care, the thyroid and adrenals blow out - BOOM...
Leaving you at the mercy of what is, because you don't have any more fucking energy to fight anymore.
Change is certain and change is good, I have learned to embrace ALL change, because it is always necessary for us all to grow whether we like it or not. As the philosopher, Heraclitus suggests, there is nothing permanent except change.
Wherever it comes from or what has prompted the next chapter, it is all good. Remember that, have infinite faith in the universe, and go with the flow instead of taking on the fight or flight scenario. Ultimately, you will end up in the same place where you started, and it's not always bright and shiny.
I know now that the universe will never fail me, and despite some of my past thoughts, it is ALWAYS on my side. Whether I initiate change or it comes from left field; I will welcome it at the door, stay with it, go deep and see how I am going to master this new change life has presented. Whether it is wrapped in a beautiful pink, shiny bow or crammed inside an old, smelly grocery bag, it is always a gift. We just need to recognize the present package.
