Our days consist of the mundane mixed in with continual surprises--good and bad. The one constant in our life is knowing that our lives are forever changing. This is a challenging truth to swallow. Because, let's face it: We get used to things being as they are. Change is difficult and uncertain. It causes us to show our true colors and forces us into the abyss of the unknown. Whether it's a move, a new relationship, a loss, or physical ailment, change is emminent.
My life is in the midst of change at the moment. Honestly, I've been here emotionally for a month, but was unwilling to truly accept it. I liked my life where it was. I had a plan of where it would be within 5 years and then 10 years and then change came. It swept in like a tornado--no warning or indicator that it was coming. It just came. It uprooted me and left me in a place of reflection.
And I'm not comfortable here. I'm truly not. But I know that when extreme change has occurred in the past, amazing surprises followed. And so, I hold on--like a skydiver clenching to the parachute on his back. There is uncertainty on where exactly he'll land, but he knows that he'll land just the same. And for the moment, he's given the gift of looking at the world from a new perspective--soaking in the ride as he makes his plan for the landing.
So, for those of you who might be uncertain of the change that is ever before you, don't be afraid of it and don't try to "plan" it out before it occurs. Just take it when it comes. Think of it as an adventure and embrace the exciting unknown before you. After all, it's just a turn in the journey--this beautiful journey of life that you're on!
