Change....Embrace it!

To say I love music is an understatement. Whether it’s listening to music, or playing my piano, I can lose myself in it.  Music is a part of me.

I love how you can hear a song and it evokes certain emotions in you or the fact it can instantly transport you back to a certain time and place in your past.

On my way home from work today, while my iPod was on shuffle, an old favourite came on. “Landslide” performed by the Dixie Chicks.

The chorus in particular struck a chord with me: “Oh mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life……”

It got me thinking about change and how life is a constant changing thing. 

There are so many “changing ocean tides” and “seasons” in your life. It is filled with highs and lows, which build charter and we gain wisdom and grow from each experience.

Seasons may vary from marriages to babies, to love or loss, to joy or disappointment, to success or failure. This list goes on.

I know personally in my short 26 years there have been many seasons already, with many more to come I am sure. But these changes, or seasons, are the obstacles and challenges that have shaped my life.

Some would say, I am a creature of habit and like to be in control (just ask my husband), so change for me personally is a scary thing.  However, I am learning to embrace change! Little by little. Because I believe without change we don’t grow.

I believe the key to change is letting go of the fear of it and of the unknown, but most importantly remaining true to yourself. 

Change is what you make it! You can either embrace it or fight it, either way it will happen, change is inevitable.

If we want to improve ourselves and our lives, we need to embrace it.

So go on and embrace it!
