Fear of change

 

 
If we are being stubborn and tight fisted about changing and growing, life will move
us along anyways. Ever have the bottom fall out of your life...where everything seemed
 to go wrong? Did it force you to change? You may felt at the time, that your life was falling apart. But it's only in being broken that we reach deeper levels of love and understanding.

There are always new things to learn. Fear, rigid thinking, and unwillingness are ways
 we get stuck, holding us back from finding a richer, more meaningful life. Don't block the
gifts being handed to you...be willing to change. We are meant to evolve...nothing is meant
to stay the same. And why would we want it to... other than we're afraid...afraid of what
will happen next, afraid to give up our false sense of control, afraid to trust...?

Trials are but lessons
that you failed to learn,
presented once again.
So, where you made a faulty choice before,
you can now make a better one,
and thus escape all pain
that what you chose before has brought to you.
