Change

I dream about change. Sometimes this can be a frightening concept. When something or someone is changed, it is made to be different. Different can be scary. It can cause us to view change as something to fear and we guard ourselves against it.

But is change really something to be feared? Should we cower and hide from it as though it is only meant to bring pain into our lives?

I used to fear change. I got so comfortable with having things done a certain way, that if anything threatened my comfort I would fight so hard to stop it. After all, who likes to be uncomfortable?

But then a wonderful thing happened: a change occurred that made me stronger. I didn’t know it at the time, but what I was afraid of ended up being something I absolutely needed. And when I look back, most of the changes that happened in my life made me into the person I am today.

That is why I dream of change. I want to experience change so that I can continue to grow into a better me. I want to transform into the person I am supposed to be. And I can only do that if I change.

When we think of change, we should try to embrace it as something that can move us forward. Instead of fearing it, welcome it into your life. You will never grow into who you are meant to be if you resist the change it takes to get there.

Change is not meant to be either good or bad. Change is merely the act or state of transformation. It is our perspective that defines how we view change, thereby informing our opinion of what has occurred.

So do not be afraid. Do not run from who you are supposed to be or where you are supposed to go. Change can take you down a beautiful path if you would only let it guide you.
