A Shift Is Coming.

A shift is coming.

 

I feel it stronger than ever. I am at a crossroads in my life and there is so much power in this moment. Have you ever noticed when driving to a destination that you've been to hundreds of times that you revert to an almost cruise control state... you don't even think of the turns or the merges because you've taken the trip so many times before?

They say that in order to keep your brain alert you should try to learn different routes to the same destination... to get out of this habit of not thinking and just going through the motions.

 

I want to see new sights. to challenge myself to learn new ways. to meet new people and discover new places along the way.

 

I'm not afraid of the unknown, rather intrigued by it.

 

I welcome it.

With all of the leaps that I've made this year, I am ready for more "forward."

important

be open to change

truly open

embrace it

welcome it

for it is the only constant in life

a lot of things are changing in my world right now

I've never been good at letting go

but everything in life was once new

and you can either be afraid or excited about what's

coming next



"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."

 

E.E. Cummings

never been more ready.




( SIDE NOTE: metanoia (n.) the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life )

I don't have anything to say today... and often times when I'm short on words/ musings it's because everything is going right.

 

Change.

Invite change into your life in an area that scares you,

or is no longer fulfilling/ making you happy

and watch how good life becomes.

 

 

:)

 

Happy Friday ya'll!

 

 

( SIDE NOTE: "The next chapter will be the best chapter." )

"We all want things to stay the same, David…settle for living in misery, because we’re afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked around in this place, at the chaos it’s endured, the way it’s been adapted, burned, pillaged…then found a way to build itself back up again, and I was reassured. Ruin is a gift, ruin is the road to transformation."

 

"If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet as a teacher…and if you are prepared, most of all, to forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you."

I Love Fortune Cookies

I love fortune cookies... not the actual cookie, which I never eat, but the fortune inside. Admit it, when you get a good one it can help boost your mood, or give you a quick burst of hope. Most of the time they're pretty generic, but it's fun to pretend that it was destined to find it's way to your meal... just. for. you.

 

That's exactly how I chose to view this 'fortune.' Change is good, and Lord knows we ALL need it. I'm ready for mine.

 

( SIDE NOTE: Please don't judge.. 'Panda Express'.. lol. I was on break from my part time and needed a quick bite. )

Stumbled upon this cool post on WhitneyEnglish.com, check it out here. I'm going to try to start taking the time to put effort into the little things this year, like writing thank you notes, that make a big impact.
