Change is GOOD! (Short & Sweet)

Change is something that we all have an issue with good or bad.

When most people hear the word change, they often feel anxious or afraid. I'm here to tell you that change is beneficial, regardless of the outcome. We are on a journey, and it's up to us to ensure we're doing what's right for us. Sometimes, change can seem terrible, but it's paving the way for something positive to happen. I arrived in NYC ten years ago from Pittsburgh, seeking change and feeling excited about it! Fortunately, I secured a job before I left. I couldn't wait to get to New York and start my job in the big city. Little did I know, my entire life was about to change. I started my job and really enjoyed it, but after two weeks, the firm had to lay me off due to cutbacks. There I was, jobless and without money in New York City. What was I going to do? This illustrates how quickly change can shift from good to bad or vice versa. I was thrilled about the change upon arriving in New York, and then within two weeks, my life took a downturn (how I felt at that moment). Looking back, I'm very grateful it all happened because it set me on the right path for my journey. The people I met (who are still my closest friends), the activities I engaged in, the trips I took... if I hadn't been laid off that day, my life would be entirely different. Many say people don't change, especially as they get older. They think that's just how it is, and you have to deal with it. However, I believe people can change, regardless of age. We all have the opportunity to make changes; we just need to be willing to do so. As I mentioned in my last blog, nobody is perfect, and we all make mistakes, but we can strive to make changes in areas of our lives that need improvement. Or perhaps you need to be more adventurous, doing things you never thought you would. Step out of your comfort zone. This is where people often struggle because the thought of making a change or doing something different can be terrifying. It can be daunting, but we must understand that change makes our journey worthwhile and guides us in the right direction. We need to make life fulfilling, seize every opportunity presented to us, and make the most of it. You'll find that if you embrace these opportunities and remain open to change, your life will transform in ways you haven't experienced before, and we can gradually make the world a better place as we become the best versions of ourselves!

We are only human, and getting things right is challenging. Change is our ally, always here to assist us. Be patient and try to understand its purpose. Don't let your mind resist it; allow it to unfold. Recognize and accept it, and you'll realize it's beneficial. You'll soon be ready to embrace change! When one door closes, many others open. Imagine having anything you desire on your journey by staying open and embracing change; it's guiding you to where you subconsciously wish to be. I never imagined living in New York City, but I always desired something different and grander for myself. Subconsciously, that's what I would tell myself, and accepting both good and bad changes led me to where I wanted to be. If we prevent these things from happening, we'll stray down the wrong path and miss achieving our true desires. So keep an open mind, let change come, be patient, and enjoy the journey!

MUCH LOVE
