Exploring The Challenge of Change
Change is constant and how we relate with it greatly impacts the quality of our lives, sense of purpose, and relationships.
Something I always try to be aware of is how little I actually know of someone else’s experience.
How someone feels, how they think, or what makes them tick…
We really don’t know, do we?
The challenge is that it’s often all too easy to assume, guess, or even hope that what we think someone is thinking or feeling is what’s actually happening for the other person.
Why do we do this?
Perhaps because it’s easier. Perhaps because actually asking someone how they feel or think requires us to take a step into their world and leaves us at least momentarily, vulnerable, and uncertain.
In those moments of potential change, our minds resist and seek a fixed experience of perceived knowing. One that it says comes only when everything is in order, and everything (and everyone) has its place.
But the heart… the heart and soul are always in an ever-unfolding communion with Life.
And Life, my friends, is always in a state of flux.
