Change - Start Something New

[Guest guest]

There is nothing more certain in our lives than change. Yet many of

us fear change and make elaborate plans to avoid it. We fear the new

and find comfort and stability of the known and familiar.

 

But to grow, you need to not only accept change, but to embrace it,

joyfully. Think of a flowing stream as representing your life. In some

places it flows smoothly, with barely a ripple as it travels on its

journey. At other places along the way, obstacles create great

turbulence' the water roars and thunders and it crashes through the

gorges and down steep falls. These represent both the easy and

difficult times you experience.

 

Yet, a stream may have a place where the water becomes banked up,

stagnant, unhealthy. Here, nothing thrives and nothing changes.

 

When the rushing waters of change into your life, for change means

growth and spiritual health. Embrace each new direction you encounter

with courage and enthusiasm. It's the key to a happier you.

 

Just because you've never done it, doesn't mean you can't. Though it

may be new and different, it is still within your reach. For you can

learn, you can adapt, you can improve and then improve some more.

Start something new, commit to it, and you might be amazed at how far

you can go.

 

Each new skill you master makes your existing skills and knowledge

more valuable and more useful. Thus the relatively small amount of

effort it takes to learn something new can end up paying off in a big way.

 

Start something new, and your level of confidence can increase

dramatically. Start something new, and you experience a whole new,

interesting, exciting corner of the world.

 

Yes, it takes some initiative on your part to get started on something

new. Once you get going, though, your energy level will increase to

more than meet the demand.

 

Start something new in your life. The richness you'll gain is well

worth the effort.
