Mantra

For the longest time I think my mantra was "why??". As in "why is it like this?" or "why can't I have that?". And this was the case for a very long time.

Finally, it changed. I started learning, understanding, and it became "because it is supposed to be that way". When faced with adversity or something that I didn't want, I'd be able to say to myself "it is because it is supposed to be that way".

Then, rather that just accept things, I started to realize it all had something to teach me. My mantra changed again. This time it was "it's all good", as in 'it's all teaching me something I need to learn'. Stayed with that one for quite a while too. Not so long as the "why" one but longer than the others.

So what is my latest? I guess the closest I can think now is "embrace change". This is a biggie for me. I never was any good at change. I used to loathe it. Dread it like a stomach flu. But now, I'm trying to be different. I'm trying to look forward to it, to truly embrace change.

I think now, I want it. For the first time in my life I'm really truly looking forward to what comes next, not looking back at what's gone by. It feels right. It feels true.

Embrace change.
