Change happens

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Change … why does it cause us so much stress?

Changing our routines … changing our patterns.

Making positive changes … implementing change … changing our habits.

Changes forced upon us … can you be forced to change?

Life event changes … life passing us by?

Change happens … we adapt … we make changes … we grow.

When we adapt and grow … these changes … causes even more change to happen.

This cycle of change … put stress on our bodies and our minds … we either change or break!

Is their another choice … is there another way to view change?

What if we were able take the stress that we place upon ourselves … and place it back on the change?

Can change be stressed out?

Can we put stress on the change so that we are able to shape it the way we want?

A way that is fun, challenging and enjoyable.

A way that we feel in control yet there is enough variety to keep us challenged.

A way that we can look forward to change … and are able to reap the benefits of the world that is ever changing.

That way is within us … you know where it is … yes … it’s right there.

Because if we are not experiencing stress or change … then we are dead.

It seems a much better option to live … and I mean really live … knowing that change happens … and that we are able to … stress it and shape it … so that it serves us.

The freefall begins

Monday, April 24th, 2006

I’ve moved past the edge … past the normal boundaries … and perceived safety … that I call my current reality.

I’ve moved beyond the secure foundation of my previous life and stepped into the unknown.

What I know … on one side of the edge … is solid … has substance.

Why? … because it has been experienced.

On the other side … is the unknown … without definition … without substance.

Why? … because it has not been experienced.

What is experience? … it is a pattern … a path … that we have created … to travel from point a to b.

Once a pattern is created … and the path can be traversed … we feel safe and secure … and bring it within the edge … we could call this a map … of our experience.

These patterns … our experiences … makes up the space … that’s within the edges … that makes up the map … of what we call our life.

When we move beyond our edges … we are creating new patterns … new experiences … expanding the edge that we call our reality … exploring new areas of our map.

To expand our edge … we must make a leap … leaving one side of the edge … what we know … and begin the freefall … of not knowing.

What lies on the other side of our edges?

Freedom … from our existing patterns of mediocrity.

Freedom … from the walls we have built up around ourselves.

Freedom … to choose the direction we want to take our lives.

Welcome to my freefall to freedom.
