The one thing consistent across all of our lives … is change.
The one thing most people consistently say they have trouble dealing with and/or don’t like … is change.
After all these millennia of human existence and evolution, how is it that we have yet to become mistresses and masters of this one thing that is so universally common, consistent, and ever-present in the very nature of our lives and living?
Maybe it’s time we develop a different relationship with change.
Maybe it’s time to change our perspective on change.
When the winds of change blow through your life, how do you respond?
Do you run and hide in the futile hope that what is, just isn’t and, even if it is, it will just go away? Do you dig your heels in, holding fast to the way things were that no longer are, and refuse to accept the reality of the change that has come?
To be able to accept, open up to, embrace, welcome, and receive the gifts that come when the winds of change blow through your life, perspective is key. When the winds of change blow, ask yourself:
“What/Who needs to be moved in or from my life?
What/Who have I been holding on to that I need to let go of in order to make room for something else that is for me, whose time is now?
What/Who is waiting for me to make room in my life in order to enter?”
When the winds of change blow through your life, think of them as nothing less than the essence of the Goddess breathing fresh air into your life; bringing a healing to your wounded places; moving through the places and spaces of your life and your living with the force necessary to provide the cleansing and clearing that you need – that your Soul has been calling forth from you, for you.
The winds of change blow through our lives in order to assist us with the transformations we need that will move us forward on our evolutionary journeys. They come to support us in removing that which we no longer need, in order to make room for the ‘more’ of life we’ve been asking for and are now ready to receive (even if we don’t yet realize it). And much like the caterpillar that becomes the butterfly – change, transformation, and evolution are essential for our lives; for the beauty of our lives; for the ‘more’ of our lives that we truly desire to experience as the nature of our living.
So I invite you to allow yourself to try a new, simple, yet powerful, perspective on change: when the winds of change blow into your life be grateful and receive them with positive expectation for what they are bringing for you; receive them as cleansing windstorms and a welcome transformation freeing you of the life clutter you no longer need as they make room for the ever expanding newness of life, the ever ‘more’ of life, that is your beautiful gift to receive whenever and however the winds of change may blow.
Be ready.
Be open.
Be embracing.
Be receiving.
Be renewed.
Be transformed.
BE…ILLUMINED!
