Change and Acceptance

We all change.

Well, now that I think about it.. do we?

We should, at least I believe in change, I believe in always growing, learning, improving myself.

So from that standpoint, I would say I continually change.

Sometimes…..

Well most times I hope for the better.

And at times maybe for the worse.

But those times, I hope that I recognize that it is for the worse, it is pushing me back rather than pulling me forward.

And then I make adjustments, change again, for the better.

Thus a learning experience.

And with change… well that causes uncertainty…

People like it when things are constant, whether themselves or others.

Change can be uncomfortable….

So, we need to accept that change is inevitable.

Accept in ourselves that change will happen, and thus we can be in control of the change, we can make choices to learn, to grow, to become a better person in so many ways.

And, also to accept change in others.

This can be very hard.

To accept that people may not be the same person they were yesterday, or a year ago, or 10 years ago.

Accept them simply as they are, allow them the freedom to change. Don’t try to restrict that.

Yesterday they may have said that Chocolate ice cream was their favourite, but today maybe they decide they like Rocky Road better.

A year ago the may have had one economic or political viewpoint, but today they may have changed to another viewpoint.

It is not up to you to hold them back. Just because they said one thing at one time, does not mean it will stay the same forever.

Each day we all have the opportunity for new choices. To CHANGE our minds, our hearts, our desires, our feelings.

Allow change to happen and accept it!
