About change...

I am totally flattered by Tasha’s second post. For those of you who read my comment and took time of your busy schedules to make it a water cooler conversation : THANK YOU! To Tasha, well THANK YOU for even consider it inspiring enough to make it a starting point to the second task.

So.. what about change? Well.. do you like to move? Do you like to dream? … Would you like to fly? If you answer YES to any or all of these questions.. then you know something about change. Change is all around us. Its in nature when daylight turns to darkness, or when a cocoon turns into a butterfly.. or better of, is how from a burning ball, the Earth became the colorful planet full of life we now live in.

Change is a motor that runs our life. Is the only reason we are alive (evolution, mutation, and all those scientific things I don’t want to get myself into.)

But… what’s my point? Well, the problem is not change.. the problem is how you adapt to change.

Try to stop and think for a minute, do you really think your days are meant to be the same every single day? If so, then slap yourself and wide open your eyes and look all around you, and pay attention to your surroundings, the smile of a kid, the cashier at the grocery store, the sky and tell me.. does it look the same as yesterday? What about the sky, does it look the same way it did this morning? I bet it doesn’t.

If we pay attention, we will understand that every minute of our lives is full of surprises, but is how you use our 5 senses to experience the gift of life what will make us understand the meaning of change, which in my humble point of view resembles movement.

Change is always for good, and no matter how difficult the situation may seem, the meaning behind the specific change transcends above and beyond the tangible forces we see. Change is around you. Change is good. Just hug it, embrace it and welcome it as a new experience, as an opportunity to live something new. Remember, is how you receive and/or adapt to change that makes is good or bad. So the power is in you!
