Changes are in the Air
Once a butterfly has emerged from its cocoon, it is not going to crawl back into it.
Once the sprout has left the seed, it will never again be so small.
Once you leave an old state of mind; a state of mind that has restricted you, held you back, limited you from spreading your wings, there is no going back.
You can trick yourself into thinking that you can, but once you try it, you’ll feel discomfort in all areas of your life. Despite the same outward circumstances, you’ll realize that your soul is the one that has changed.
In order to enter into a new state, we have to die to our old state; to our old self.
We must release all that we have thought of ourselves to be. In the end, all that we believe we are, is just that: a belief. It is nothing permanent or everlasting. Both our souls and our human bodies are constantly changing.
Not just us, but the whole earth and UNIVERSE has never before been in this exact point in space and time, and it will never return to the exact point again.
What do we do with this information? How does it feel to know that everything is so fleeting?
The initial reaction might be a sense of uneasiness or even fear.
But there’s another option: we can see it as a gift instead of a burden. That’s what I am learning.
Change is the only constant thing in this universe. And since it is our reality, don’t you think it is our duty to embrace it?
We are given the choice to choose who we are every single second. Nothing and nobody is telling you what to do. You have complete choice of will.
The best and most graceful way to go through whatever changes lie before you, is to completely accept that they are happening for the best reason possible. It may be scary and unknown, but how many times in your life have you lived through a similar circumstance?
Isn’t it during these big unknown times of your life that the most beautiful miracles happen?
Let’s move into December with an attitude of gratitude for the ever changing flow of life. May we always flow along this Life-River with ease, grace, and utmost love.
Questions inspired by this for the month of December :
When I sense a change in myself coming, what do I do? How do I react? Is my state of being open and curious, or is it scared and shut down?
What other times in my life have I gone through a time of intense change?
What have I learned from these turbulent experiences about myself? Did my life become better or worse after these times?
I love you all,
Ananda
