As I sit and look back over my life... I realize that all of the good I have in my life right now... are all a result of changes I have made in my past.
I have never really been a huge fan of change. Like many ppl, I have fought change tooth and nail!! I have always liked my "comfort zone" and prefered to stay in it.
BUT... over the past few days... I am really seeing that once I muster up the courage to make a change, as my history has shown, things always end up better!!
Soooo... as per what I have been doing all week... I started a "list"... of how "CHANGE" can/has benefited me. This way, whenever I try to resist change... I have a reminder of why it is good!!!
(I am needing this list right now... as I am trying really hard to make some changes... and with the baby steps I am taking, I am already seeing positive results)
*PERSONAL GROWTH This one is my favorite. Change allows me to grow and learn. I discover new aspects of who I am. And even if a change doesnt get me to exactly where I wanted to be... it taught me a lesson or two in the process.
*FLEXIBILITY Making changes often, leads me to be more flexible and adapt to new situations better each time...expecially when something unexpected happens.
*IMPROVEMENT I am always looking for ways to improve... my life, our situation, my home, etc None of it would happen without "change"
*VALUES Change always forces me to take a look at myself and my life... a different perspective sometimes... which helps me to reevaluate my values.
*THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT Big, huge changes are difficult for me... soooo one small change will lead to another and another... eventually I will get to where I want to be.
*STRENGTH Not all changes lead to a big, happy picture... they can sometimes bring a few hardships. Lord knows I have had my fair share. But what doesnt kill me makes me stronger!!
*OPPORTUNITIES I dont have a crystal ball. I have no idea what is around every turn. What I do know is that every turn I make there will be new and exciting experiences and opportunities.
*NEW BEGINNINGS Change = The closing of one chapter and the opening of a new chapter.
*ROUTINE Well, after awhile routines get boring and make life uninteresting. I sure dont want that!
