Change

What you allow is what will continue. I woke up one day and decided I didn’t want to feel like this anymore, or ever again. So I have to change. Just like that.

There are three reasons why people change: They have learned a lot. They have suffered enough. They got tired of always the same thing. Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, indisputable decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something.

You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it. You may have to lose who you were to find out who are. Don’t expect to see a change if you don’t make one.

A year ago, everything was different. And now that I look back, I realize that a year can do a lot to a person.

Just because your pain is understandable, doesn’t mean your behavior is acceptable. I watched myself change. I couldn’t stop it, I couldn’t help it, I just broke even more. You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guild, anger, love, loss, or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go.

Do you know that feeling when things are about to end and you have finally accepted it? I’m not talking about things ending and still wishing for it to be like before. This is the type that you have finally accepted it, and you’re now hoping for a new beginning. The type of feeling that blooms in your chest and you’re a little bit excited and giddy, and wishful and hopeful of what’s yet to come. The feeling of acceptance mixed with anticipation of the future.

It’s almost like the feeling you get when Christmas season is about to start, the feeling of festivity, of anticipation, of hope. It’s like this time, anything can happen and finally, finally you’re ready to grasp and trust the magic that comes with new beginnings.

Relish this feeling when you get it. Hold on to it. It’s your hearts way of whispering, “Hey, I’m getting there, I’m healing, I’m getting okay. We are about there, just hold on, we can do this.”

You describe a feeling of regaining hope that I honestly rarely if ever have felt myself. Perhaps just a touch (and typing this seems to have done that trick lol).

Thanks so much for posting and best wishes to you and the readers
