Certainly, it happened more than once that we thought that we have built a comfort zone in which we had everything under control and, as a result, the alarms sounded: small red lights that encourage us to move so as not to stay too long in the same place It is a very special way in which life must test our emotional balance in the face of change.
Because the truth is that change does not wait for anyone, it coexists with who we are and demands constant reactions, in fact, at first we always feel a certain discomfort to which it is not so easy to adapt: we are not used to their calls of attention. , even if he accompanies us throughout our lives.
“Don’t dive twice in the same river
you don’t go into the same body twice,
We do not get wet twice in the same death.
? Oscar Hahn
Since nothing that exists remains indefinitely in time, it is important to know that everything is perishable: everything evolves, opposes, overlaps or changes, so we need to learn to keep up with the changes and find the tools that help us prepare for your event.
Perhaps what impresses us most about the change is its arbitrary and uncertain character, because it always contains a little uncertainty, that is, you can not know in advance how long you are, what the results are or how much energy you will use. so you don’t get lost.
In addition, change annoys us because, most of the time, it is out of our reach, without us being able to avoid it: we do not have the privilege of deciding whenever we want to stay the way we are, even if we are well. In addition, there are decisions that will change our lives, but there are also lives that will change your decisions, without you being aware of them.
Why is fear changing? All life is a change
Why should we be afraid of him?
? George Herbert
Therefore, what we can do is face it with determination and courage to assimilate it as best as possible: without forgetting that there is nothing wrong with changing anyway if it guides us on the right path.
Reflecting on what the changes involve, I recorded a conversation that takes place in the animation “The Lion King”. In the first part of the film, old Rafiki says that changing is good, even if it’s not easy and although sometimes he assumes to face a painful past.
It is true that there are moments that affect us a lot and that are necessary for us to mature and become stronger, however, there are also others that make us happy: there is nothing wrong with risking ourselves to continue, seeking other goals. , recognize failures and change principles, etc. The change can be positive.
You’re wrong if you look back thinking your place is still there, when it’s actually gone, you also get confused when you create a dream in the future and don’t set foot on the ground to face your present. Are you making a mistake if you don’t think the right address is here?Here, and ‘now’, and always look forward.
“Life isn’t waiting for you anywhere, it’s happening. It’s not in the future as a goal to achieve, it’s here and now, right now, in your breathing, in the circulation of your blood, in your heart rate All you are is your life, and if you look for meaning elsewhere, you’ll get lost.
