In life we all go through changes

Filed under:Personal — phillip @ 3:12 am

In life we all go through changes. They can come in all kids of different ways and forms. Emotion, physical, mental etc.

No matter what they are we can find ourselves in a place of discomfort and frustration. This can lead us to be unhappy with ourselves the ones around us our job and a list of other things.

The problem is we tend to react immediately to the situation we we find ourselves in at that moment. We don’t stop and think we just react, it’s the fight or flight mechanism built into us. I’m not saying that is a bad thing, however our first reaction tends not to be the best one. This can be a positive thing when it comes to making changes that need to happen NOW. However most of the time we act to hasty and can find ourselves in place we hate, a place we thought was going to be better….

This is a good example of the grass is green on the other side of the fence… The problem is when you get to the other side it is no longer the greener side. Most of us will look outward for something better or with the appearance of being better. We will work towards that change of scenery rather then assess whats going on right where we are. Don’t get me wrong you don’t want to dwell on something for to long.

If we would just invest the time to water, seed, fertilize and manicure our own lawn we could have the grass we want. The lawn we worked on the one we made could be the envy of the neighborhood.

So what does this have to do with anything? Simple, take the time and invest in your our life, the ones you love the things you have. Don’t just give up with out trying. And I don’t me just sitting there staring and waiting for something to happen. Make it happen.

You have to invest into what you want. Everything takes work, sometimes it is easy and others times it is hard.
