“Do You Fight Change or Love Change?”

“That’s a Very Important Question”

I’m working with a man right now from Connecticut. He is in his 60’s and he thought he had his whole life figured out… and then he became ill. And when he became ill everything in his life turned upside down. And he has lots of anger about all the change that’s taken place in his life.

Change is Inevitable

Even if we try to keep things the same… everything will change. Everything in life changes, the seasons change, the moon changes, the tides change, we are born, we die, and everything in life changes. Change is a constant, change is one of the things we can count on.

Do You Hate Change?

I asked this man — “I guess you don’t like change” and he answered “I hate change”. And thus he’s always beating his head against that invisible wall of change. Always upset with the next new change that life presents.

Or Do You Love Change?

Then there are people like me… who’ve had so many changes in their life that they begin to love change! They see all the changes in their life as good. They get married, had children, had a great life, and grew older and on and on… or some variation on that theme.

*** If we embrace change we love life… if we hate change we hate life***

So What Will You Do?

Today a new change will come your way… what will you do? Will you hate that change or will you begin to embrace change and see the good in all change. It’s doesn’t make sense to get angry about something that we are powerless to do anything about it… time marches on, God made it that way. It’s much easier and happier to love life as it is… and do what we can do to enjoy our life now.

Being Happy with What We Have is a Choice

So what about you?

Will, you choose to be happy or will you choose to be angry about change?

Many Blessings to Everyone!
