Changing Is A Part Of Growing Spiritually
Most people do not like changes because it seems to threaten their security in their life. People love their routines. Routines are safe and predictable. Fear of change is tied into a need to control our lives. We can not control our life. The majority of people have a misconception about change. It is assumed by many people that if change occurs than they are doing something wrong. Change will happen whether we like it or not. Changes occur as a part of the human evolution. JUST THINK WHERE THE WORLD WOULD BE WITHOUT CHANGE. We would not have the technology today without change.
THE COMMON FEARS ABOUT CHANGE...........
1. That if you have to change than there is something wrong with you. FALSE! It is impossible to live in a world and interact with people on a daily basis and have so many world influences without it needing to become more fluid as an individual.
If you plan to have friendships and romantic relationships, you must be willing to be flexible or you will fail in the relationship area whether it is with friends, a partner, co workers ,etc.
When we hold on hard to our belifs, we are strangling our perception of truth and not allowing for others to have their perception of truth. This is a sure way to invalidate your partner, friends,etc and it will create isolation from the people you want in your life.
2. If I change than that means that I am changing my belief system. FALSE! It is impossible to not have a core belief system. It is how a human navigates in their life. Due to our life experiences, we will have interpretations that lead to a belief system. The only issue with our beliefs is that we must remember that we can not inflict them on others.
We must be open to other people and who they are. Remember everyone has been influenced in a way that causes them to have their own set of beliefs. The key is to not have tunnel vision and to stay open to the fact that truth is different for every individual.
REMEMBER.
Change is about having a core self definition with room for expansion of who you are. Change is not completely giving up who you are. It is just staying open to your environment and the people in it. Embrace change and you will have a more enjoyable life because you are allowing for more opportunities to come to you.
