Change is...

I have learned in my lifetime but so much recently. As a human, an imperfect human, and as an adult I have discovered that change is hard to adapt to. Change is not only hard but it's even worse when your forced to change. Now don't misunderstand, I understand evolution and I appreciate change and growth as well but this post will discuss an individual adapting to change and the struggles associate with the power of change and his/her desire to control that.

I understand now the power of control. We seek control so that we can feel purposeful, valuable and to enhance our self worth. We seek power and control in some aspect of our lives or another's life to feel significant. But is control the type of power you really want?

To have control over self and all your individual situations speaks to power of choice. We always want to choose our own path. We want to direct our own journey. And there is nothing wrong with that growth pattern. But when you began to dictate the life and journey of others, the power of choice is now control. That control will make you out of control and hinders you from your own growth.

I'm just scratching the surface here. I can get a bit long winded but I want you all to think about that!
