Change is inevitable. Why do we resist it so much? Is Inertia such a force with which to be reckoned? Let’s face it, at the very basic level of bodily functions, we must eat to feed our cells. No eating equals eventual decay. There is no staying the same. Ever.
Change is good. There is great power in one person choosing peace despite living in a gun-toting, bent on hatred and violence world. It seems futile. Don’t be fooled. If a small percentage of individuals, feeling powerless or not, put down firearms and open their own arms to love others, their tiny piece of the world would change for the better. One garden planted can feed many as seeds become shoots of life-giving vegetables. Yes, that garden will decay. So will we.
Embrace the fortitude of change. Be intentional about whether your change travels up or down. Seek new experiences, opportunities, relationships. Simply listening to new music can shake things up, as can visiting an unknown museum or reading outside of your preferred genre. Expand your world. Seek diversity. Notice beauty. Appreciate the goodness of others. The world is changing and so are you. Make the most of it and you will be changed for the better.
