A REAL Change

I often think about the idea of change. I think it’s something that we all want, yet we’re so hesitant to reach out for it … we resist it almost because we are afraid of what is on the other side of it …

There are so many opportunities that are right in front of us, if we only knew how to ‘touch them’ … as we walk and wonder … as we reach and wish … what is it that keeps us never reaching out for more? What is it inside of us that resists an open door to something new? What is it for you? Do you resist change? Why?

For me … I think it’s failure … a little fear perhaps … not knowing what to expect, I suppose … yet I’m profoundly amazed by the idea of ‘change’ … in MANY different capacities … I often think that triumph and change can be intertwined together … because after all, change can bring out the BEST in us … and ultimately, it can send us on a path of discovery … ‘change’ can help us overcome something that we never thought was possible to conquer … have you found this to be true for you?

As this life continues to race at an ever so rapid pace … I’ve found that life matters most when we choose to accept the changes that come with it … we can choose to embrace them … or resist them, and simply, stay the same … yet the opportunities that exist, if we choose to see them, can open up a door of endless possibilities …

I read this quote the other day … “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations”. Sure, impossible they might seem at first, but glaring at them … head on … will only make them what they were always meant to become … REAL! And from that ... 'change' is ONLY the beginning ...

Lost in Translation

You know, I’ve often thought that being myself would be easy…but have you found that sometimes who you are isn’t really who you are? I think so often we forget in translation…like the film, ‘Lost in Translation’; we lose it when life interrupts…when failure and insecurity creeps in…we lose a sense of ‘us’; who we REALLY are…we translate success and opportunity to what the world portrays that to be, when in reality, success is much more than what we have or what we do…it’s who we are and never losing that sense of ‘us’…

Sometimes it’s tough being ‘YOU’; but the truth is ‘YOU’ are exactly who you need to be and it really doesn’t matter what ANYONE else thinks…
