Having lived in many different countries, I have had to deal with change all my life. It does get scary. There is always something to lose and always something to let go.
But the harsh truth of life is that, nothing lasts forever. Keeping that in mind, we then need to learn how to accept this change.
“Accepting change is all about embracing the unknown” We never know where life is taking us, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by change. But to accept it, we need to learn how we can embrace it with the circumstances we are given. We can have certain expectations of how we’d like for things to turn out, but we can never really affix ourselves to that result. So if we lower our expectations we have from life, the easier it becomes to accept any change.
When things around us change, we also start to grow as a person. We see new things, we learn new things, and we gain knowledge and wisdom along the way. It often even forces us to adapt in ways we’ve never experienced before, which is a major driver of personal growth and development. What’s more, in my case, I have had the chance to meet so many different people and learn about so many different cultures from around the world. So this type of a change even makes you a very interesting person, with loads of stories to tell. (I’m not going to lie, it does give me bragging rights!🙈)
Change has also impelled me to face my fears. Life can put us at any situation at any time, and things like losing the people we love, losing the things we love, moving away from home, are really quite terrifying. But since we can never escape fear, we learn how to face it when we walk through change.
Lastly, the most important thing to remember, is to learn from the experience. Change can easily leave us distraught and miserable. But how can we accept it if we keep on dwelling on what could be? Let change teach you things you would never have learnt otherwise. You’ll later realise that the lessons you absorb from change are eminently profound. For example, over the years, change has taught me to be patient. Aristotle once said, “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” Time is never in our hands, and so we must have the patience to wait for what we want.
In a nutshell, the entire history of the world can be defined by continual change, evolution and development. Change is an integral part of life and existence, and so what we need to learn is how to gracefully embrace it.
Aside from that, wishing you a merry Christmas and a splendid New Year. Let’s strive through any change, and make the best of 2020! 🤗

I’m 50/50 on the importance of dreams, but a couple of weeks ago I dreamt that I saw myself in a mirror, and I looked about 17. My hair was dark – better still, my hair was all there!
If it had any meaning I would say it was positive. Although I’m nearly 60 I still feel like my best work is ahead of me. Seeing my younger self was reassuring – I’m starting over again. But, with any luck, somewhat better equipped after several decades of learning and experience to deal with whatever’s coming.

Très beau commentaire qui me parle par le fait de notre proximité d’âge et de génération, certainement. C’est également le fruit d’avoir vécu toute une vie avec cette assimilation des différentes visions de la vie, des présents, des changement continus et constants. Et lorsque l’on parvient à la réalisation de la vie et de sa vie, c’est comme si alors tout s’ouvre et tout commence, tout semble devant soi, pour aller, partir, poursuivre, en et vers de Nouveaux territoires, de nouveaux changements…, il convient d’agir, il est vrai et de….choisir… Merci pour ces mots.
En revanche durant notre “jeunesse” en âge, notre génération a été bercé de rêves fabriqués, d’illusions très commerciales (un monde meilleur, etc.) Et l’on constate la destruction définitive de la Planète, la mise en place d’organisations sauvages et barbares (génocides, tueries, massacres, tortures) par le fait des entreprises et des politiques pour le seul fait de défendre un système politique et économique qui ne vit plus que par la terreur pour que vivre l’horreur.
Et cela, c’est terrible!
