Change is Inevitable, Suffering is Optional

A message from Sandy. ”Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.”–Unknown
I think most people recognize that change is constant, but it can still produce some fear and discomfort. It seems unnerving as we daily deal with life’s upheavals. Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies an opportunity.” Somehow it doesn’t always feel that way when you are drowning in the unknown. If you think about it, out of every crisis comes the choice to reinvent ourselves as individuals. Never underestimate the power you have to change yourself.
“If you can’t change your fate, change your attitude.”—-Amy Tan
Here are some ABC’s we should have learned in school:
Accept that change is inevitable.
Believe that you can create miraculous change in your life.
Commit to being flexible.
Once we begin learning how to cope with change, we can begin to welcome it into our lives, start to seek the unknown and experiment with life. We are all part of an ever-changing journey, and our emotional resilience depends on our ability to accept what happens to us along the way and renegotiate our own reality.
