Change

Change is more than the coins in your pocket. It’s the only true constant. It’s the one truth.

Change the world, change your underwear, change your mind, change your position. Change is difference, and you know what they say. There is benefit in variety. Challenge is borne of change, and growth proceeds from challenge. We change with change, hopefully in positive ways. And float. Let yourself float for a while. It doesn’t have to be all hard.

But no doubt about it. Change must be handled—the novelty and lack of certainty navigated. Decisions, decisions, decisions! Temper the stress and take your time. I am a big believer in following your instincts. Remember choice is better than no choice at all.

Change can paralyze or it can motivate. Slide to the right, shimmy to the left. Embrace it. There is nothing to be afraid of. Nothing is forever.

As Virginia Woolf wrote in Orlando (1928) –

“Change was incessant, and change would perhaps never cease. High battlements of thought, habits that had seemed as durable as stone went down like shadows at the touch of another mind and left a naked sky and fresh stars twinkling in it.”

Be open to change. It keeps us fresh.
