You ask, “Why should I change? Everything is fine.”
But the reality is, ‘everything’ is not fine.
Just having to face the realities of conflict, chaos, confusion, jealousy, bitterness, resentment & depression is a painful thing …without even considering all those other feelings!
I remember sitting on the couch in my father's living-room, with tears rolling down my face, my heart racing, my ears burning, and that anxious desire to jump up and run out of the door!
It was urgent enough for me to stay and work it out, so that I could sleep better, laugh at jokes again, and to free myself from the cage of anger & resentment where I lived for years!
Now, years later, I am actually living the life of my dreams. Turns out, Daddy was right. Not meaning to, I found myself listening to his point of view…and over time, taking his advice.
Years have gone by…
Finally, I'm really happy, not that I don't have problems, aches & pains. But I have succeeded at what I wanted to accomplish, and the motivation to experience more and new things, and to create and re-create…That's where I live everyday!
Now I realize that change is often a good thing, because it leads to growth!
I learned the hard way, that when we simply accept the need to make a change, we open the window to possibilities beyond what we know & see!
("Make that change.")
