In our lives, we will go through many transitions, some of them good, and some of them bad. There is a chance that you will even go through one thing that will change everything in your life, for better or worse. We know the major ones, and we may even have gone through them already, marriage, having children, new jobs, being fired from jobs, and deaths of family and close friends. Additionally, we can note kids moving out of the house, crime happening to us, imprisonment, car wrecks, and personal emotional tragedy, like divorce and losing our faith. These are just a few of the infinite possible transitional scenarios that may and will happen in your life. How are we going to be ready for this? Read on, my friends, as we are going to prepare ourselves to be open for change.
We need to be flexible in life, whether we are facing transition or not. Being flexible is all part of being open minded and available to people. We cannot be tight wounded and rigid, as we can never face change unless we are open to it. We are not going to succeed unless we can go with the flow. Life doesn't stay the same all the time, as is the theory of empty form. (Everything is formless and constantly changing, including ourselves, as evident with passing time and aging. Nothing can stay the same, as was stated by even the great poet Robert Frost.) We are not going to be able to hold onto everything forever, no matter how hard we try to control things, as everything will die, for this is the law of nature. We must prepare for life's changes by bracing ourselves mentally for what might happen.
When we go through possible scenarios in our heads, most people call it worrying. People tend to worry, though, at the right times. We aren't prone to anxiety when nothing is going wrong. We always have our fears come to life when they are about to. We should pay attention to our intuition and try to channel it into careful planning. If we are to lose our job, we need to plan to find a new one. If we are to have a child, we need to plan out its proper care. If we are facing a death in the family, we need to plan for our grieving. Anything can happen in this chaotic world, and we need to plan accordingly. Being open to changes will help us be ready for the negative changes in our life, too. We cannot think that the worst will not happen, but at the same time always remember that the best can happen in life and dreams can come true.
Life was not meant to spend idly and let disaster ravage our world. We were meant to be wise and prepare for the changes that will metamorphosize our world, for both the good and the bad. You are not some helpless person unprepared for life's changes. That whole “wing it” approach only goes so far, trust me on that. We need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. We can't just think our lives are never going to change, that would be complete ignorance. Our lives will change, each and every moment. It's all about how we react to the events that happen in life. If we react positively, we will reap good karma and make it through the event with ease. If we react poorly to new events in our life, we will reap negative karma and have our future days crumble afterwards. Plan accordingly, plan ahead, and take everyhing in life with grace. As always, peace and blessings to you all.
