Quote for the week
“There’s no such thing as chance. And what to us seems merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.”
– Johann von Schiller

The only thing that is certain in life is its uncertainty – Oswald Chambers. Change is constant. Change is unrelenting. When everything changes, change everything – Walsh. Few people are comfortable with change. The problem is really not that people resist change but resist change when they believe it caused them to lose control of some aspect of their life. If we resisted change we would never do anything. We would never buy anything new, travel anyplace new, start a new job, get married, get divorced, have kids or eat in a new restaurant. We only resist change when it threatens our sense of control over our life. We all want to control certain aspects of life – our health, security, safety, happiness, well being or our lives in general. The problem is you can’t stop change as long as you choose to get out of bed each day. So what’s the answer to better coping with change in your life? Accept it as a part of the ebb and flow of life itself. See all change as good. See all change as helping you grow, become and to learn whatever life wants you to learn at this point in your life.
