Ever get that feeling - something is different and you just can’t put your finger on it? Maybe you’re listening to a song and you hear “something’s happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear.” and you quietly smile. You don’t know when you’ll get that feeling and often it’s bittersweet. You have to work through it because the event is one thing - the process you go through - the transition - is altogether different.
Change is an event - transitions are a journey - a continuously unfolding future from each moment. It has always been this way - timeless and unique for each of us - like rocks on the shoreline - the water ever so slowly wearing away the surface.. The way the water washes over the rocks is as important as what it yields.
Where we are - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - is never neutral - shaping our behaviors and actions which over time reflect who and what we are as individuals, within groups and among communities. Ways we connect have changed. Work environments have changed. We have changed. How we transition is as important as the change itself. Yet, at the core - human values and physical laws remain.
When the way we look at the world changes - our world changes. Being positive does not mean everything will work out - it means being ready to accept however things work out. This takes time. Be kind to yourself and others. If you don’t take care of yourself how can you even think of helping others?
