Change Is Never Optional

So, things happen right? Right. Either they happen to you, or you happen to it. The whole conclusion of this post is to encourage you; to share with you what I think about change. 
Change can be refreshing. Change can be painful.  Change can be frightening.  Change can be wonderful.  Change can be terrible.  If you are experiencing any of these feelings, you are probably in the midst of change.  Buddhists say that you know something is real if it changes. Like the idea in the movie Inception, that if the top stops spinning you're in reality.  If it doesn't, it was all just a dream.
On a good day, we can view change as an opportunity or a chance to start something new.  On a bad day, we may view change as the end of the world.  But unless it actually is the end of the world, even days change. There comes tomorrow, and with tomorrow comes a chance to have a better day.
Oh, and one more thing...deep and profound change tends to take a lot of time. It can take years for a heart to heal.  Believe me, I know! All I can say is hang in there!

I believe change sometimes occurs to bring us to a better knowledge of ourselves; to bring us closer to our true potential, or force us to tip the scales of our personal evolution.  With the conclusion in mind, I'm just now learning to embrace change, the good, the not so good and the oh so beautiful!
