Change is Good – You Go First

Change. Unexpected or chosen, change complicates our life.

When change arrives, new choices become a daily necessity and our comfort zone vanishes.  You have entered a strange territory. With no personal GPS system to guide you, without knowing how to speak the language,

Fear becomes a daily companion.

What about…?
What if…?

Without knowing what the future holds and what’s right around the corner, panic sets in.  Your unknown future looms ahead. It feels dark. Overwhelming. Just like your childhood memories, there is a monster under the bed. Undefined, but very real.  What will you do?

It’s up to you. Is this an obstacle or opportunity?

You actually have a crystal ball.  You just don’t know how to use it to light your new path.  It’s easy. Closely examine your history; you’ll find you’ve been here before.

What personal strengths can you draw upon? What life lessons have you learned? Chances are you have been through change before. Perhaps an opportunity slipped by, an opportunity you really wanted. You were upset, even depressed, when the door of opportunity closed. But then what happened? Who did you meet? What new opportunities presented themselves? When patterns are broken, a new path presents itself.

Let go of old lifestyles, what was, what might have been. Focus on your strengths (and you have many.) What gets measured, gets improved.

It’s time to simplify. Fear Less – Do More. I know you can.

Please share your thoughts below. No need to share your name if you’d rather not. But don’t let lack of confidence hold you back from helping someone else. Who knows? Sharing how you forged a new path could help many women who are now where you used to be.

Change is good. You go first!

  1. There is a time for everything. A time of action and a time of rest. The rhythms of the days and nights, seasons, years and decades make evident this comsic interchange. Every breath we take is a respresentation of the divine dance of life. Each inhale bringing air into our being, each exhale a release back out to from where it came. As you stand before the ocean, you can not help but feel the grandiose of creation. And just as there is a rhythm in the tides of the ocean; there is a rhythm with you own boy, your own life, and in your relationships to everything and everyone on the planet.
    With this understanding one can relax into all of their life experiences. Rhythm is reflected everywhere. In business there are times of growth, plenty, decline, pauses, followed by more activity and decline. Adaptation to the ever changing cycle of things creates new growth and the cycle repeats. Clinging tight to the past ways creates stagnation and blocks the flow of life. In this changing world everything is subject to building or breaking down. We like to avoid the breakdown parts of our lives, yet only in the breaking down and releaase can space be provided for newness to come in.
    So embrace time of action doing the best you have to offer, and equally embrace your time of rest. In doing so a sacred balance is achieved, life will become effortless as you allow life’s rhythms to carry you. Daria

    Thanks Daria for your insight. It all comes down to clarity. Action is important, but only after you are confident of the direction you wish to take. Your point of balance and the rhythm of cycles is so important for us all to remember.
