As a human being, I am hard-wired to want change. I experience things in my life that I like and some things I abhor. Based on my like/dislike experiences, I make my desires known to the Universe for more of what I like. Of course, getting more of what I like necessitates something changing. I get exactly what I said I wanted, but, Oops!-along with what I wanted, everything else seems to be falling apart.
Did I do something wrong? I was working the Law of Attraction to the best of my ability with the knowledge I had. I stated my intention to attract that new car, and within a week I had it. Oh, I felt so good driving around in my brand new automobile. It had everything I'd asked for and more. Then in the mail I got the paperwork. Uh-oh! Now I have to license the automobile. Worse, I have to pay sales tax on it? Oh, and don't forget the insurance required and the personal property taxes that will be due in October... Not to mention maintenance. All I asked for was this perfect new transporation. How could things have snowballed on me?
No, I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't think about the pebble that's thrown into the pond. There's nothing wrong with the pebble being thrown-but it changes everything about that pond once it's thrown. The ripples on the surface of the water, the water creeping slightly farther up the shore... This is what happens-change.
In her book, Living Life Inside Out, Barb Kampbell states, "Change is going to happen with or without your participation." Life is change. I spent so many years trying to maintain the status quo. It didn't stop any of the changes from happening. I only made myself miserable. Even though the world seems chaotic right now, the change I'm experiencing is exactly what I asked for. I see this clearly. But in order to enjoy my own manifestations, I must make friends with and embrace change.
Having spent so many years fighting change, I've decided that change is always good. Granted I may go through some major discomfort during transitional periods; but this new attitude about change-knowing that somewhere in the change lies also the solution for which I've been looking-gives me a sense of anticipation and excitement. And my life seems to flow.
Blessings!
