Deep down
inside…we know the answers to the questions that ail us. We go out in search of
advice…needing help from others when we know no one can tell us what to do with
the answer we already have.
Fear of the
unknown…Deep down it’s the emotions we are afraid of…Fear. Fear steals. Fear
lies. Fear is the enemy…much like the cliché of “We are our own worst enemy” We
stay in jobs, relationships…making excuses, why or why not. Why is this? Why do
we do this to ourselves? The circle of “Why” surrounded by “Fear”.
Why not
change…why stay in the same place, doing the same thing? Toxic relationships…anything
between you and someone or something is considered a relationship. Our relationship
with food. With People. With significant others…Our jobs…if indeed you are
unhappy…Why do you stay?
Change…Change
is hard. This is something I’ve said many times…I start a list…I jot it down, I
cross it off…I rewrite…but does the list change? Does the change take shape?
Does it hang out for a while and then “get-up” and GO? For most, the answer is…Yes.
Does change take place?
It can. Small
steps. Small changes…often we try to go all gung-ho…the take-off is good…until
it isn’t. Change what you eat. Change what you say. Change what you do…Change…when
done in small doses, change can happen. Not overnight, but it can…because You
can. Believe in yourself. Believe in the change. Let go of the Fear…erase the
doubt. Let go and let God.
I’m here to
tell you that You can…when we can come to terms and find acceptance for our
inner self…Trust…and Love who You are…then the rest will fall into place…Yes
the emotions still come with your “theme park” whatever the ride…Just make sure
the ride is worth riding…and Love You some You.
Have a great Friday...See you Sunday.
Be Good to
You.
Smooches,
Lola
I used to be scared of change because then I'd lose control and the uncertainty that brings scares me like anything. But I've learned that not welcoming change is robbing ourselves of the opportunity to grow and to blossom some more.
ReplyDeleteThings may be difficult to change but if we start with ourselves, who knows what we can accomplish?
Never say never...I am my own teacher and need to follow my teachings. Scary to think about the unknown...but instead of scary, maybe I should look at it like exciting? An adventure...room for growth? I love what you said about robbing and blossom...I couldn't agree more.
DeleteThanks for stopping by! Always good to see you.
Well said! It's so easy to justify keeping the comforts in our lives even if they are destroying it. I've dealt with more change over the last few months than I ever thought I could handle and for awhile I did anything I could to stop the changes from taking place, but when I finally accepted that change is necessary I found a sense of freedom.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring Lola! :]
Hi Lindsey,
DeleteI've said countless times...just because we are comfortable, doesn't mean we are happy in that comfort...as you said, finding freedom away from the comfort, can open doors we never thought we were capable or even possible...Change is hard...and def necessary.
Well said.
Good to see you...
