Things are not always what they seem. And things change, adapt and adjust. What was once one thing can become a different thing entirely. In a heartbeat.
The familiar and expected can shapeshift into the unknown and the unexpected. Rarely does something remain the same.
The reason is as difficult to understand as it is to grasp. We are in a constant state of flux.
That which surrounds us is living, growing and dying. So too that within us.
The passage of time not only brings about a change in circumstance but also a change in perception. What we see now is not necessarily what we saw then. Who we are now is not who we once were.
Change can be difficult. The problem is that it is also inevitable. We must adapt and we can make that process as difficult or uncomplicated as we choose.
Acceptance of self is important. When we understand where we are we can better perceive where it is that we are headed. The change that is inevitable can be guided. We can write the next chapter in our book of life.
And therein lies both the challenge and the excitement…right alongside the potential of achievement and success.
The beauty and wonder of it all is that every day is a new opportunity.
We can choose to grasp it or ignore it.
