EMBRACE CHANGE!

CHANGE!

Change - what is it... what does it mean?

According to the 'Oxford English Dictionary' change means: to make or become different; to exchange one thing for another or; to move from one to another!

Yes... it is inevitable that CHANGE will occur within our lives and,

when change occurs it can happen in directions that we would never have imagined.

Sometimes...

we can cope with and look forward to CHANGE but,

sometimes...

 it is difficult to deal with, causes conflict  and we dread it!

Change touches us in so many ways and through so many things - 

more than can ever be mentioned here but,

 whether change occurs due to...

 world wide, social, family or personal reasons 

 it depends upon both our circumstances, attitudes and CHOICES,

 as to how much WE let it affect us.

Every change in our lives, 

whether we seem to cope or not,

will however strengthen us for the next to come.

It is not the way of life to live without knowing a storm or two -

and for every struggle -

whether internal or external,

we will experience CHANGE...

CHANGE...

this can either strengthen or defeat!

BUT... 

CHANGE...

CHANGE is good!

 It is good because...

 growth, strength and courage is not won through the absence of conflict - 

whether internal or external, 

it instead comes from the ability to look at and deal with CHANGE!

CHANGE can touch each of us in varying ways - sometimes hardly at all

 but... 

sometimes CHANGE is so personal that our very essence itself is affected.

The only person each of us is destined to be is the person that WE decide that we want to be and...

how we deal with CHANGES that come within our voyage of life. 

It is our CHOICES, as much as the paths and opportunities, we take or...

ignore...

 that influences the manner with which we deal with CHANGE.

So... 

each day look around and be happy with the CHOICES that you have made in your life 

and,

 the CHANGES that have come from them.

For CHOICES influence CHANGE

and,

CHANGE influences our life so,

EMBRACE CHANGE as,

CHANGE ultimately makes our voyage of life... our voyage of discovery complete - 

it shapes the way it was meant to be for each of us! 

So my dear friends

The real voyage of

discovery lies not

in seeking new landscapes,

but in having new eyes.

(Marcel Proust)
