Life lessons

Ok so today is the day that Scott moves out of the house. What will today be like for and him? I have no clue. What are the next several days, weeks, months be like? Again, I have no clue. What I do know is that now is the time for change, reflection and for life to start teaching us those wonderful little lessons it so loves to teach.

Change is not an easy thing to do. Instinctively we want to rebel against it, we don't want things to change. Things must change in order for people and relationships to grow, become stronger or for them to finally just die out. Change is inevitable, it must happen and it will. We can either struggle against it or we can do our best to go with it. More than likely, most of us will fight it, struggle with it until we can no longer do so and still we would not accept it easily.

Why do we struggle against change, why can we not easily and readily accept it? I think it is very simple, change is scary. Change is really the unknown. Most of us know that we need to change, and that change is a good thing, but still, it terrifies us because we do not really know what that change will bring about in our lives. Will it be a good thing or will it be a bad thing? The only answer I can give is that I truly believe that it is a good thing when we do not struggle so much, when we accept that change is coming and we can do nothing to stop it. It is when we struggle and think that we can stop change, that we can force change to come to a halt with our will power that the change becomes bad.  Now you must understand that the change I am talking about is not changing your hair color or buying a new car. I am talking about life altering, belief restructuring change. The type of change that makes you view the world in a whole new way.

Don't get me wrong, any change can help us to see things differently, buying a house or car, choice of schools to go to, but those are changes that we decide on, changes that we make come about. I am talking about changes that are not necessarily our choice, but instead are brought about by the choices we have made, the good ones, the bad ones and the ugly ones.

So which type of person are you? Are you the one who struggles again change or are you the one who realizes that change is inevitable and that no matter how much we try to fight it, it will happen?
