Change

You will have to find the reasons to embrace your change(s). You will have to make sure the reasons are bigger, stronger, and more compelling than the discomfort you will experience in the change. But once you have that figured out, you are already most of the way there. Then it’s just coming up with the steps that move you in that direction, and getting in motion.

Where you presently are is the top of a small mountain. You can see another mountain nearby, a place that you would rather be. However, to get there, you have to let go of your present location, and climb down through the forests, slog through the swamps, and then climb up the other mountain.

If you don’t embrace the change, you’ll probably never make it all the way down your hill, much less up the next one. If you are unwilling to let go of what you have, what you are, or where you are, you will find it very difficult to become what you might be.

It’s not always easy, it’s not always fun, and it is likely to be at least a little bit scary. But I don’t know how else to get from here to there.
