Change

Change can be most unsettling for most of us.  We like what we know even if we are not the happiest.  Many of us just exist in situations that are not all that  productive for our growth.  We feel secure, we think that this is better than nothing.  But is that how we should really lives our lives,  lives of mediocre should not suffice.  We are capable of so much more.  We allow many doors to remain closed.  We don't know what is behind that door.  Will it be good or bad?  Will I like it?  But just like the cocoon that holds a caterpillar nice and warm, it must emerge to become a butterfly.  The cocoon becomes way too tight and stifling, the caterpillar starts to see the light come through, he wonders what is beyond his cozy little nest.  Soon he breaks through to find a world of light.  A world in which it can soar high above, land among the highest trees. He partakes in a dance with other beautiful butterflies.  It takes much courage to break free from our current existence.  Sometimes we look back to familiar times when we felt loved and safe.  We might stay there for days basking in those memories.  At some point soon, we have to put our feet on a new path, take a chance because otherwise it will just become too stifling, the resistance will become too great and make us feel like we are stuck in some old holding pattern.  If we can gain confidence, strength and trust in that inner knowing, we will far exceed our wildest dreams.  Dream big and trust your heart and intuition.  ;)
