Timism of the day: The Change Machine.


Timism of the day: Funny, as i’ve just thought of this, so i haven't thought it through yet, but God, in some ways is like a coin machine, you put something in and you always get change back. God is all about change and growth and adapting. People are reluctant to change and many even fear change, however, its chang...e that brings us growth. Those who say people don't change either refuse to see the truth or don't want to see the truth. Truth being that it would be more true to say that people do nothing but change. i used to think it clever to say that when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change, then it's time to change. Then i realized that all that people heard when i said that was Pain Pain and change, guilty by association. One of the main reasons why we resist change so much is that we've been told that it is supposed to be painful. Fact of the matter is, it does not have to be painful and is more typically a breath of fresh air and a relief. How many times have you had to embrace change, awfulizing a catastrophiizing, fighting it kicking and screaming only to find out that it wasn’t at all like you had imagined, and better. Anyways, i think what i am to say to you today is that change is natural, the not knowing is natural, surprises are natural, and people being predictably unpredictable is natural and the ability to change, mold, and adapt comes natural. You’ve been doing it since you were a mere molecule preparing for a race. You embraced it then, you won, and here you are now. So, embrace it, don’t resist it. Your safe, happy place is quite often a ball and chain to you. That’s all for now, take it, test it and teach it.

  1. Looking at life and circumstances through present day lenses rather than reflective lenses used to be my stumbling block, as i could not see the true value of the situation. Amazing how clear things appear when we simply change our looking lens.
