Change is this constant in our lives that keeps us on track. It is both a constant and unrelenting mistress which makes demands on how we conduct our lives. Typically we know when we need to change certain situations or circumstances, but sometimes we are just lazy or afraid to walk through the doorway that lies before us. Some change is great and some not so much (at least initially). The worst change is change that is forced upon you. This change is hard, brutal, stressful, and seemingly never ending. You find yourself asking questions like:
What have I done to deserve so much stress?
How much longer must I endure this?
WHY ME?!?!?!?!?
In reality there were signs that eluded to the changes that needed to be made. Now that fact that we ignored is not changes fault. We are lazy and/or afraid, sticking our heads in a hole as if we were on ostriches hiding from the inevitable. You only have yourself to blame. The funny thing is, if we had made the small changes that were needed from the start, the changes in the end would not be as major. If you make the changes when you initially notice that I change needs to occur, life becomes considerably easier, less stressful, vastly more enjoyable.
That being, I suck at it. Although I know change is a constant in life, I am a bit stubborn when it comes to certain aspects of my life. The funny thing is, I usually am almost completely worn out mentally and emotionally before a forced change is implemented. Yeah, I know. Why not just make the change? Because my rational side knows what needs to happen, but is typically overridden by my emotional side. That and I am kinda like a bratty child when it comes to change and I just don't wanna.
Don't get me wrong. There is some change that I am on as if it were second nature. But life is constant, and I will hopefully get a bit better with my signs and actually acting them. I am sure I am not alone....heck I can look at my Facebook news feed and tell that I am NOT the only one, but I digress.
