Years ago, when I was experiencing some difficult times, my therapist told me, “Just remember, nothing ever stays the same. This too shall pass.” Her words really helped me at the time as back then I truly felt as if “this was it.”
Since then I have come to realise that such perception is not unique to me and is quite similar for lots of persons experiencing any form of emotional difficulties.
Apparently, my therapist thoughts weren’t original either. As Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, was quoted saying….
“change is the only constant in life.”
So now when things are going poorly for me, I take solace in the fact that no matter what, things are not going to stay the same. They will get better, or they might even get worse for a short period, but whatever happens they are definitely going to CHANGE. .
Perhaps the best thing we can all do is to live our lives in alignnent with our values, and not be afraid to embrace change – only then we will be able to achieve our inherent potential.
I also believe that when we approach it in this way, not only do we have the opportunity to positively affect change in own personal lives, but also in the lives of others.
What about you; Are you “okay” with change? Yes or No?
