When our lives are going well and
sometimes even when they aren’t, we may find ourselves feeling very
attached to the status quo of our existence — life as we know it. It is a
very human tendency to resist change. But change will come and the status
quo will go, sooner or later, with or without our consent. We may find at
the end of the day that we feel considerably more empowered when we find
the courage to ally ourselves with the universal force of change, rather
than working against it.
Of course, the answer is not to go
about changing things at random, without regard to whether they are
working or not. There is a time and place for stability and the
preservation of what has been gained over time. In fact, the ability to
stabilize and preserve what is serving us is part of what helps us to
survive and thrive. The problem comes when we become more attached to
preserving the status quo rather than honoring growth and change. For
example, if we allow a situation we are in to remain stagnant simply
because we are comfortable, it may be time for us to summon the courage
to challenge the status quo.
This may be painful at times, or
surprisingly liberating. Most likely, it will be a little of both.
Underneath the discomfort, we will probably find excitement and energy as
we take the risk of unblocking the natural flow of energy in our lives.
It is like dismantling a dam inside ourselves because most of the work
involves clearing our own inner obstacles so that the river of our life
can flow unobstructed. Once we remove the obstacles, we can simply go
with the flow, trusting the changes that follow.
