Change is the only constant thing that happens.  Yet, people resist change.   Change requires adaptation and flexibility.  Change is required for growth.  Look at mother nature.  She is constantly changing, high mountain peaks are being eroded by the rain, wind, snow and the rivers are changing the direction and moving and shaping the rocks, sand and plants growing along side them.  In many parts of the world we experience seasons, Winter and Summer, Spring and Autumn.   The plants grow , die, hibernate.  The animals change locations and hibernate.  The weather changes daily and people must adapt to the changes with clothing and what they will do that day.

Yet, when there is change in the family structure, or employment or health or location or friends or the economy, we somehow want it to remain the same.  It thankfully does not and most of us adapt and move forward with making the appropriate adjustments.  However, some do not.  They complain, get angry, sad, gossip, feel depressed, and think “why me, when will it (the changes) ever stop?”

Consider this and be grateful for change because it is important to the maturing and evolution of people, plants, animals and of course nature.  We are experiencing what we are able to handle, take lessons from the changes and then move forward with appropriate adaptation.  Be grateful for the change.

Sayings “Time heals”,  “give it time”, “next time will be better”, “in time it will change”  and many more sayings.  These all speak of change.

For 2010 and beyond I encourage you to accept change because they are the only constant.

When I look back on 2009 I have experienced  big changes to my life.  Some of them have been very purposeful and others have just happened.  I know that I am moving forward with gratitude and momentum to my life of financial freedom and complete freedom to choose.

I love my family and friends.   I tell that to them regularly.
