Change, fear and opportunity
Have you ever had the feeling that things were about to change? That your life as you knew it was on its way toward something you couldn’t put your finger on, something different, something exciting, something completely new?
Were you excited?
Were you afraid?
Did you choose not to change?
Taking risks, stepping out of your comfort zone is where true change, true opportunity and true growth exist. If things stay the same, nothing changes. And isn’t change what life’s about?
Lately, I’ve been feeling like my life is about to change – and change in a BIG way. I’m not sure what that means, and what will actually change. But I have to admit I am really excited about it.
Change is something that has always been a part of my life. My husband and I have moved over 10 times and lived all over the United States, and each time we moved we looked forward to the upcoming changes and opportunities. And you know what? Each time we moved there were LOTS of new opportunities. And you know why? I think it’s because we embraced change and welcomed all it had to offer instead of fearing it.
I believe that fear is the energy that stops opportunity, the energy that stops growth, and the energy that stops change.
My advice to you? Embrace a sense of fearlessness. That’s right, as you stand on the edge of the cliff, don’t be afraid to jump! In the immortal words of Jon Bon Jovi, “I’m gonna live my life shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice. Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.” There’s a certain amount of trust involved in the leap, but the rewards are worth it!
If you look at change with fear, you will undoubtedly experience situations that reinforce your expectation. If, on the other hand, you look at change as opportunity you will also undoubtedly experience situations that reinforce your expectation.
“Change the way you look at things
and the things you look at will change.”
Wayne Dyer
Your words and thoughts create your reality, be mindful of what you think.
I’ll keep you posted on the changes that come my way this year, I’m looking forward to it!
