Time for Change?

Maybe it is that subtle, little voice in your head or that feeling of being drained and exhausted all the time. Sometimes it is that uncomfortable sensation of something crawling up your spine or perhaps a knot in your stomach. Whatever the clue may be, something in you clearly knows that things are not “right”! Something is out of balance. You are out of balance. It is time for a change!

Whether the urge for change is related to a specific something or to some kind of “something”, you just know… it is time! Something has to change… starting NOW!

Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results”. Given that definition we have probably all had moments of insanity in our lives. Within us may rest all kinds of fears and resistance to changes. We may think that we will feel safe and secure if everything stays the same, but that brings out even more fears since we cannot resist change… change is constant and never-ending! Looking back just a few years we can most definitely list out countless things that have changed in our lives and in our world. So as far as I can tell, we can either choose to embrace change, flow with it, learn from it and help create it or we can keep beating our heads up against a wall…

What in YOUR life is due for a change? What factors are up for reexamination? What is due for an upgrade… and what can you do without all together? What is it that you keep doing over and over again… only to be getting the same (undesired) results? The real question is; “How long are you going to be beating your head up against a wall before you realize that it hurts like hell!?”

It may take a long time for someone to acknowledge and even realize that “something” has to change, and that it is time to embrace the process of change. It is time to let go of some things, destructive thoughts and behaviors and/or the need for control. It is time to let go, let loose, go out there and do something different, constructive, new and exciting… and in return inviting something different, constructive, new and exciting into your life!

It may take years to get to this point in time where you know and feel that you are ready for change! You are done beating your head up against a wall. You are done with fear, resistance and suffering… You are done being the one that keeps holding yourself back… You are just DONE! You are ready to surrender, ready to let go… and flow with it…

The blessing is that once the “awakening” has occurred, the change itself can happen in an instant! It can be as sudden as the flip of a coin… but first you have to get REAL with it!

So, what is it that you want to change in your life? What new reality do you want to create for yourself?

Ghandi’s famous saying goes, “Be the change you want to see in the world”…

Be the change and you create the change! At any given moment you have to power to create a transformation.
