If nothing changes.
Do you need to read that again?
Do you want to make changes in your life? Then you need to make changes in your life.
If you really want a change, a new start, a new beginning, you have to be willing to change some things in your life.
Things you’re doing. Or not doing.
Change comes with making changes. You can’t continue doing what you’re doing and expect a different outcome.
…the best things in life come from the unexpected
…life chews up the plans you so carefully made and gives you something better
…you let life get the best of you and don’t try to discover how you can change your life
…you have to go with the flow, go with your feelings, instead of planning everything out to the Nth degree
…in life it’s important to stop thinking of what might have been and start thinking about what could be.
…life has a way of doling out what you didn’t want at the most inconvenient moment
…you can’t understand why life won’t go your way. Until you find out there was a better way than yours all along
…plans are only in our heads. Life usually has its own plan.
…in a box of seemingly ordinary things, you find something extraordinary
…life sends you change that you wouldn’t have chosen, but it works out in unexpected ways
…we have no choice but to make changes. But sometimes those changes are exactly what we need and work out for the best.
…you discover it’s better to excel at being who you really are than fail at being what you’re not.
…you discover the longer you leave someone behind the harder it is to bridge the gap back to each other
…you wait for that other person to contact you, and when they don’t you’re not sure how to ever make things right again.
Any of these fit your current situation?
It’s constantly changing.
So why are you trying so hard to stop it?
You don’t like change? Well, neither do I. But it’s a part of life. And it’s what makes it interesting.
Life isn’t static. Would you really want it to be? Sure, there are moments we want to keep, want to last forever, but that isn’t how it works.
Maybe you really want your life to stay exactly like it is. The same thing day after day. Never moving ahead. No surprises.
But no excitement. No adventure. Nothing to look forward to. Nothing new happening. I don’t know about you, but to me that sounds really boring,
Is that really what you’re looking for? Staying with the status quo? Day after day after day…?
As much as I don’t like change, I don’t want static and mundane. I want to be challenged. I want to move forward.
Yes, there are risks, but that’s all part of life. If you don’t take a risk once in a while, you’ll never know what could have been.
Change is a part of life. You wouldn’t want your children to stay the same age forever, any more than you’d want to stay the same age forever. Sure, getting older does have its downsides, but that’s part of life as well. Those of us in certain age groups joke about being 39 and holding, but you can’t hold on that age forever! Except in your mind.
…then it’s the time to let it go.
Why try to make something – or someone – be something it’s not.
Because that something or someone will always be what or who they are.
You’re not going to be able to change it. No matter how hard you try.
Let it go and move on.
Maybe it’s because they’re doing something different.
Maybe you’re not looking at it close enough. Things do look different from a distance, you know.
Maybe it’s a different kind of grass; a kind you haven’t tried.
Maybe you missed it when they dug it all up and started all over again with different seeds.
Maybe they’re using different fertilizer.
Or maybe, just MAYBE, they’re looking at your grass and thinking the same thing.
