When Life Asks You For Change
When life asks you for change…
To change where you are, what you’re doing, or how you’re showing up, you have to listen. The growth that’s on its way will show up regardless, in one form or another.
As humans, we’re built to create not a perfectly manicured life, but a beautifully imperfect one. To push our boundaries, anchored in gratitude and courage, just so we can reconnect with who we are and challenge ourselves to become more while we’re here. To expand and express, try and fall, then get back up and keep going. It’s poetic in a way, and it will break your heart both with beauty and suffering. Our job is to ride the wave regardless, with enough bravery to see where it takes us.
It’s up to you to be brave enough to face it.
Take change as an opportunity to get to know yourself better. It can sometimes come at you like a fire hose… let it. It’s going to be intense for a while. But if you’re facing it, know that you have the strength to handle it. No questions asked.
I’ve changed nearly everything in my life the last three years. Life has been a little upside down, but it has also given me incredible moments I’m deeply grateful for. Traveling to places I’ve only dreamed about, breaking through some tough comfort zone boundaries, connecting in new ways with new people. I’m grateful for where I’ve come from, and I’m grateful for where I’m going. Costa Rica was a trip I’ll never forget, a trip filled with firsts. The wildlife. The first time I touched the warm ocean. Blue water. And the sounds of the jungle, that speaks volumes even in stillness.
It’s in stillness that we hear the most powerful guidance, and our inner voice that tells us where to go. If you learn to hear yours, you will always fulfill your destiny, even when the world tells you you’re wrong. Nobody has to see the light in your heart but you. In time, they’ll feel it in the results of your actions.
So don’t be afraid to change, whatever that looks like.
Step bravely forward into your truth and, no matter how many times you stumble, keep smiling and saying ‘hey, I’ve got this. I know I can do this’. Take the punches, but get back up. Celebrate the wins, but don’t fear loss. Just take this life and all it calls you to do as the most extraordinary opportunity to live the fullest, most rewarding life, because that’s exactly what lies on the other side of discomfort.
