Choices

When we change something we do every day, we activate cells of growth.  As all change does, it will require grieving.  The death of old choices, that have served their time, brings sadness and gladness.

Sadly, we are wired to cling to the familiar.  As we release the known, a wound opens, raw and real.  We must allow ourselves to feel the pain of this discharge.  We must feel the ache of saying goodbye to what worked for so long.  We must let a part of ourself die.  We must feel the gut wrenching misery of loss.  It will be excruciating.

On the other side of this pain is an unfathomable joy.  A freedom like to other.  To know that we are strong enough to go through the fire and come out refined, is one of life's greatest gifts.

This process of evolution is our life's work if we choose it.  This evolution can start with simple changes.   The reward for changing something we do everyday is a gladness heretofore not known.  For we know not what we do, until we choose change our daily choices.
