How Do Embracing Change and Positivity Go Hand In Hand?

Embracing change gives you control you won’t otherwise have — and that’s hugely positive.

There is only one constant in the Universe — change.

Change happens all the time. You can’t stop it. You can either ride it out, stand in resistance to it, or do the work to embrace it and take what control is in it for you.

Change is scary because it’s anathema to comfort. Or at least that’s the perception. Change will pull you from an existing comfort zone in your life — which is where your often-dominant ego likes to be.

Sometimes change is huge, obvious, and impactful. This can be tangible, like a sinkhole opening up and swallowing your home. Or it can be an intangible change like the end of a job, dissolution of a government, or divorce.

At other times, change is nearly invisible, or slow and steady. The seasons change, you are not who you were mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually a decade ago, and the like.

No matter how it happens — change happens. Always. And you can’t do much about it. At least, in the abstract.

When it comes to your life experience and change — you can resist it, just let it happen, or embrace it.
