Beauty is Discovered in Change
“The idea that “change is hard” is one of the biggest myths about human behavior. The truth is you change effortlessly and all the time. The primary job of the brain is to adjust your behavior based on the environment. Design a better environment. Change will happen naturally.”
Fall --- change happens naturally and beautifully; it doesn’t fight the inevitable but embraces it! Even in the dying to what was, a brilliance of color, hope, and beauty is illuminated. As a single leaf clings to the branch, so we often hold dearly to what was – failing to design a better environment where the old and new come together in perfect harmony to create change naturally, powerfully, beautifully. The leaf gently releases and floats ever so slowly and softly to the ground as if it is reminiscing of what was, wishing it could stay, but understanding that through death there is resurrection!
Change is inevitable --- nothing will stop its march. It comes whether as an unwelcomed intruder or a much-needed blessing. How often do we participate, initiate, or nudge change? When was the last time you designed an environment where change could flourish – could bloom from the bud of an idea? Do you perceive change as an opportunity to unlock a new habit, lifestyle, or hobby that will fulfill a longing in your soul?
Change is often bittersweet --- it means the end of something familiar, comfortable, and the genesis of the unknown in which the outcome is still to be unveiled. Change will always be; we are required to make a choice. How will we greet change when it knocks at our door? With eager anticipation, grooming our surrounding environment to receive the change so the full potential is attained. Or just allow change to occur with a heart of dissatisfaction, doubt, and criticism?
What will be your choice when change comes knocking?
