It’s warming up, welcome June. Drink water, stretch your legs, get some Sun. Gratitude reciprocates.

GROUNDED

Roots - Change

As a kid, I wanted to grow up. When I grew old enough to be with the adults, I realized we are all just kids in bigger pants.. Today I share 2 reasonings with Change from my own learnings in faith.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” -The Serenity Prayer (Reinhold Niebuhr)

“Change is never painful, only resistance to change is painful.” -Buddha

These have each been shared repeatedly for a long time, with good reason. I cannot and will not say them any better. Here’s my opinion.

We are all taught to be right. We are even shown righteousness in existing beliefs. Fighting for our truth. Whether it be the decision we make, or the values we shape. This does not make us wrong, only human.

Change itself challenges the conditions with which we have come to know as our truth. Change itself continues to persist, particularly when we resist. Change itself is just that, Change.

Can you stand for everything? Believe everything? Absolutely not. Can you find peace in the change happening before you? Up to you, but I think so.
