Change

The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.
---Japanese Proverb

Change:

Today's word is a given in all of our lives. As we grow, change will
occur in both our inner and outer worlds. Many times we see changes
as threats. We become pessimistic towards the idea of newness, or we
allow ourselves to remain within comfort zones to avoid the risk of
failure.

Today's word asks you to view change as an open invitation to enjoy
the fullest potential of the present moment. Resisting change
means resisting growth. Don't let uncertainty prevent you from
making the necessary changes to persue your dreams. Those who succeed
are the those who take chances, and that means not only accepting
change, but embracing it as a gift - a tool for turning your visions
into reality.

Today's Exercise:

Focus on a goal and the changes you need to make to get you to that
goal. What changes have you been resisting and why? Explore ways to
get yourself through any doubts or fears, and empower yourself by
making a comittment to work towards these changes each day.
