Change Happens

So we are plugging along "doin the best we can with what we got" and something or someone from our past jumps out and grabs us. Trying to pull us back, slow us down. To stop us from making the positive changes we are making. Have you ever had this happen? We can often read far too much into this like" is it a sign from the Universe" telling us we shouldn't be doing this or trying that? I think not. How about instead we look at this as our higher self asking us "how much or how badly do we want this? " Maybe there are tests, detours, and yes even saboteurs out there along the way. But they can best serve us during the change process by helping to motivate us. Some people are afraid of being left behind or maybe not being needed anymore. But once they appear on our path remember that you have free will and choice. We can choose to go back with the old ways: which are often unhealthy and energetically draining or we can choose something different, healthier and uplifting. Sometimes CHANGE may mean new friends, new jobs, new relationships. I know that by doing things the way we always have: means getting what we have always got! It is in that moment when we must stand tall, take a deep breath and say: "I am ready for something better." I am willing to do my part, to make new choices. With hard work, disipline I can be the change I wish to see in the world.
