Sometimes you read a quote from a book or hear a quote from a film that makes you sit up and contemplate reality. The quote I read today was ““The key to change… is to let go of fear.”
I liked that quote, and it certainly did make me think. Are we afraid of change or just reluctant to let go of what we are used to? Of course, life never stands still, that much we do know. But sometimes it just seems to happen all to quickly. One change, then another seems to happen all too often.
I know those who are afraid of change, I know those who embrace it like a duck takes to water. I think I am somewhere in-between. Life has constantly challenged me with change, but I have never sat back and thought, “I cannot do this”. Life always will be constantly changing, and those differences will sometimes be good, sometimes they will be bad but what makes us whom we are is how we deal with them.
When change forces us to step outside of our comfort zone and push ourselves in order to get what we need or desire in life then that is truly the true characteristic of whom we are. The question we sometimes have to ask is “Am I brave enough to make that change?”
