Enjoying change: Why 'enjoying the ride' is key

While we all know and acknowledge that change is a constant part of life, each of our reactions to it is oftentimes varied.   Depending on when the change occurs (when things are going well or when they are not going well) can oftentimes deeply impact how we choose to react to those changes.  When I ran across today's quote this morning I was struck by the term transform.  Often an overused (and I would argue many times improperly used) word, when it comes to how we think about and react to changes in our lives, this is the perfect term.

As a believer, I've come to terms with the fact that life is oftentimes not going to turn out the way that we want it to, and many times just seems downright unfair.  That is why transforming our thinking about change can be so important and frankly empowering.  How often have you been inspired by watching other people go through trials and tribulations and thought - How would I react in that situation?  The next time you're faced with a change in your life, give some thought to that concept.  How can the challenge/change that you are facing turn into something powerful for another person.  I know that once I started to think about the how others saw my approach to change (and how willing I've been to accept it as a part of life), dealing with this fact of life and just 'enjoying the ride'... became a lot simpler.

As you start your day, give some thought to how you accept and incorporate the inevitable changes of life into the tapestry of your own existence.  I'm certain that you'll discover - as I have repeatedly in recent years - you never know how your approach to change can help others overcome challenges that they are having... that you might not have even know existed.  Make it a great Thursday.... and 'enjoy the ride'! #NoLetUp #OnwardandUpward #WhateverItTakes #EmbracingChangeDaily #MorningInspo #LifeisfullofChanges
