The Gifts of Change

We cannot avoid change-it is an integral part of life. But while we may be able to point to major events as "life changing," sometimes it is the less noticeable, inconspicuous times that can cause a major shift in our perceptions of what life is-and who we are. A chance conversation with a stranger, an unexpected gift, even experiences that don't turn out quite the way we wanted can all provide food for thought which leads to new realizations.

This condition of change is really the definition of being alive: without change there can be no growth. The key is not to spend energy avoiding change but to embrace it willingly, using each experience to develop new strengths and abilities to prepare for the next series of transformations. It's not about blind acceptance but rather about actively searching for the positive aspects in all our life experiences.
