Change is inevitable.
Growth is optional.
It has been seven years since I had this realization.
Realization that change is going to happen with or without me.
The change in friendships.
The change in emotions.
The change in my life’s purpose.
Most of these changes are inevitable.
Friends come and go.
Times of pure joy are followed by anger.
Days of clarity are followed by confusion.
The difference is how I choose to engage with all of these changes.
I can let them happen TO ME or FOR ME.
Seven years ago, I chose to to look at these inevitable changes as things happening, “FOR ME.”
I chose to look at friendships, past or present, as opportunities to learn and grow from. Opportunities to see parts of myself in them and how I show up in the world.
I chose how I react to emotionally charged conflicts. The choice to look at them as simply information for me to choose from.
I chose how I see my life’s purpose. Something that is meant to evolve and not be defined for the rest of time.
Change is inevitable.
Growth is optional. It is a choice that I make over and over again.
