Flow, Form and Morph

MAP

Let’s talk about changing today – what causes a person to change and another to not change.

Yearning.

A little spark inside that life could be different and a desire to make that happen.

It’s scary.  I know you perceive it that way.

But when the spark is greater than the fear things will start to happen.  You will allow yourself to move forward and see anew.

You didn’t have this fear when you were young – you hadn’t created your illusions yet.  You were eager to get on with life and see what happens next.  You didn’t try to stop the process.

And you had encouragement.  You were being cheered on by all those who loved you to smile, to reach out and grab a hand, to potty train, to take your first steps.

Every bit of progress you made was cheered on and celebrated.

Even if you failed you were encouraged to try again.

And they were there with you – all the way.

Now if you try and change, if you allow that spark to grow inside of you, there are so many fears you believe you have to overcome.

Who will cheer you on?  Will you have to leave or separate?  Will everything you know and hold onto be gone?  Who will do what you do – take over and make sure everything gets done?

You will never know until you try.

And that is where these thoughts and fears must be overcome in strength by the yearning desire within you.

Life will change – with or without you.  That [life won't change] is the one belief  you have to let go.

You can only hold on for so long.  Either you will be forced to change or you can create the change.  Your choice.

Your children will move away.  The people you love will die.  Your dear ones will move away.

What are you going to do?

Holding on only serves to delay what will come.

Letting go does not mean you do not care, you do not get involved or go your separate ways.  Letting go is not about leaving first so you won’t be the one hurt first.

Letting go is allowing another to grow without the impacts of you.  Letting go is allowing life to flow and form and morph as part of you rather than in spite of you.

Letting go is as simple as making the choice to see differently the same set of circumstances before you.

Cheer yourself on through change.  You will be a magnet for others who want to see the way.

And they will cheer you on too.

For when you change they change.  And that opens the door for even more change.

You can all stop pushing against the door that says PULL.
