There comes a time when you are forced to change your life. The ups and downs of one’s life journey make it inevitable in the long run. The question is how long does one wait before doing so? Embracing changes makes you brave. A perfect time does not exist, but a strong mindset supersedes doubts.
You come to a point where you long for things that used to be. Yet during this longing, you wish for something new to take its place. You end up shedding old ways and begin to embrace new opportunities.
The possibilities are endless no matter how old you are. If you are at a point of uncertainty, what would it take to become certain? Think about what would need to shift so that you could take a step.
Remember to keep going
What I know to be true is that time will keep on going. The sands in an hourglass will continue running their course. You reach milestones in life along the way that make you think. What one might perceive as hard in the past is a bit easier now.
Being a people pleaser can make taking this route challenging at times. In the end, there is always loss. To gain something means to let something go. It is about making room for the things that bring you joy.
Life lessons are tough, yet necessary to overcome them and succeed in life. They aren’t always wrapped up in a shiny red bow either. What I have found is that you must take the leap in life. If you don’t you end up wondering what would have happened if you had. No one wants to regret their life choices. You can take that risk and start fresh, or remain the same. Staying the same isn’t bad if it makes you happy. However, if you have continually wondered what your life could be versus what it is then you know your answer.
Embracing changes can be easier
Saying goodbye to what you have known for so long is not easy. Although it can feel this way it can also be good as time passes. The only way to know is by saying yes to yourself. Embracing changes does not have to be hard.
Give yourself the pep talk necessary. Remember to stay in faith that your next thing is on its way. If you have ever been hurt, had a loss or an unfortunate life circumstance know that you will move forward. I have learned that nothing is impossible with God. He is like that compass that knows which way is meant for me and those I love. He never fails me even when doubts or uncertainty arise.
Sometimes I like to look up at the night sky and imagine all my dreams in the stars. They are there for me to view in all their glory. I get to see the dreams that have happened and others still waiting for me to make the first move. Not embracing changes will only delay my dreams.
One day it all makes sense when you least expect it. You see things that once hurt you as things that no longer have the power to do so. Being a woman that has experienced my share of hard things I know what that feels like and can relate to it.
However, now I am that woman that rises like a phoenix. Isn’t that better than staying stuck? The time has arrived for transformation. In the meantime, doubt or uncertainty can step aside because at last, now I am ready.
