CC: Constantly Changing

Life is a constant revolving door, going in and out.  We call that revolving door "change" and most people rather avoid it than confront it.  As with anything in life, it is better to allow change to happen rather than to fight it and stay within your comfort zone.  I am pretty sure I could write a blog regarding change every week.  Today though, I want to focus on one aspect of change and that is the attitude with which we accept changes in our lives.  Early on we form this idea of what our world will always be like and we don't anticipate the upcoming changes.  How can one anticipate the unknown? You change your perspective and you learn to trust. 
I have experienced huge life changing experiences, some that I've brought upon myself and others that are the subsequent effects of events.  I tend to categorize all of the changes in a negative and positive category.  Lately though I've boxed all of the changes into a positive category.  Most successful people would agree that the big difference is found in the mind frame that you choose to receive and welcome changes in your personal life, at work, and even spiritually.  It is an amazing exercise to practice accepting change and it builds a muscle like no other.  Personally, I like to stop myself when I'm sinking into the endless negativity pit by figuring out how to use change to my advantage or how it can help others.  I shift my thinking to embrace and welcome change, no matter how hard it can be.  Another small activity I practice to embrace change is to do something I've never done before everyday.  It can be something as small as taking a different route to work.  This helps your brain to think outside of the box, which is a big help when learning to embrace changes. At the end of the day, change is a growing factor in the world and it will be negative or positive depending on how you decide to accept it.  Through tough times, remind yourself that change is constant and it drives us through the different cycles of our lives.
Embrace what is different, see change as constant and trust God through it all!
