Changes

There are so many changes in life. It seems you just get used to a change and it changes again. One can’t help but feel a little resistance to change because it is comforting to have familiarity. However, every time we have that resistance to an inevitable change, we create a tug of war within.

One side of us wants everything to stay the same, and the other side knows it must accept change and pulls us in that new direction. Often the resistant side might appear to be stronger, louder, and often more negative. However, if you imagine yourself holding on to the resistant side of a rope, how long can you hang on for before you drop from exhaustion? It takes a lot of effort to resist.

Therefore, the next time an inevitable change comes along that you have absolutely no power over, think about the tug of war rope. The acceptance side is eventually going to win, so why cause yourself all the unnecessary stress and mental discomfort? Instead, you can say to yourself 'Here comes change again!' Simply go with it rather than resisting. Who knows it might be the best change ever! ~ Marnie
