Accepting and Creating Change
Change is
a universal law. Everything is always changing because it is composed of
energy and energy by definition is always moving. When something changes
without you deciding to make a change, see it as beneficial and look for
its positive consequences.
The
pursuit of achieving or becoming anything always involves a change from
what is or has been. There are three major fears that you might have to
deal with in this:
- Fear of change. This is usually accompanied by lack of
trust - trust that the new will be as good as or better than the
past, and trust that what you are pursuing is right for you to be
pursuing.
- Fear of failure. You might be a perfectionist and don’t
accept failure as a necessary setback from which to learn in order
that you might correct your pursuit and eventually succeed. You
might need to work on your trust - trust that you can achieve what
you have decided you want to achieve.
- Fear of criticism. When you change others need to change
how they relate to you and they may not want to. They might not like
what you are doing or becoming. They might criticise you. This fear
is related to your desire to be accepted and loved by others. Deepen
your own convictions in what you do, and make sure you continue to
love and value yourself and your decisions.
We must
never seek to change ourselves because we do not like ourselves. If that
is the motivation we will choose more of what we are trying to move away
from. Change, to be beneficial, must be based on an acceptance of what
is and a vision of what is possible and potential, which are soul
realities. In this way we do not expend energy trying to move away from
something - which is not possible because it is within us - but expend
our energy pursuing what we dream of. This is what the universe supports
and what our soul delights in.

Exercises:
1. Determine what it is you want to attain or achieve, and
then examine yourself in light of the three major fears above to
see how you might be blocking yourself.
2. What soul potential exists within you that needs to be
activated at this time in your life in order to more effectively
meet some need that exists? |
