Change is inevitable, and often comes when we least expect it. As I grow older, I realize the importance of embracing change. How lucky are we that we can shape our present and future? Zen practitioners have cultivated an ‘I don’t know’ mind — they condition and assume nothing so they can see the world as fresh, and new. I really admire this approach to change, and will definitely utilize in the upcoming months. Consider all routes, and possibilities — act interested, ask questions and engage with anyone who has done/doing anything of interest to you. Let your guards down, and sail to some new scenery. Below is one of my all time favorite quotes. It has gotten me through so much! What are your favorite ways to embrace change?
“Every relationship is brought into our lives to teach you and to help you grow. Change is the nature of life and what was, must pass away so that what is, has room to make your life brand new. When you become attached to a certain way of life a part of you dies. To live fully and to BE fully alive cultivate a mind set of loving detachment and let life live you. When you do this you will see the beauty in the small things, the fleeting nature of all life and feel a deep sense of appreciation for everything in your life. Celebrate this new moment – whatever is may contain!”

Touche, my dear!
Isn’t That Charming.
I’ve gotta remind myself of this– I am the WORST with change.
