Change

 I am a mum of 2 beautiful girls. They  are full of surprise. I marvel that I was once like them. I look at my first daughter and marvel, she's developed and changed in just over a year. Singing, screaming talking and throwing a tantrum, already displaying her own personality.

I look at the second only 3 months old and also marvel. How much she's changed since the day she came out.

They've brought out the best in me. I am more patient, calmer, tolerant and less inclined to rushed or be in a hurry.

In what way have you changed since change happened to you. Changes which may have happened to you over the years may include: relocating, getting married, graduating, getting a job, losing a job, losing a loved one. Having kids, buying a house. Getting divorced. The list is endless. 

I've discovered that we change along with our circumstances. Either for the best or worse.

Some people become negative if the change which occurred in their lives are negative. I.e. divorce, bereavement, loss of job, homes or absence of a desire. While negative circumstances can cause us to be sad, I believe we can allow ourselves to move on pass them to become better for it.

It is double tragedy if we are worse off than before our circumstances changed. If you are faced with a loss, or disappointed,  grieve, take time out, but come out your best.

Same can be said when good happens to us. Some people are completely transform by it and become people of hope, joy and all that's good. They abound in joy, when you meet them you can tell they've undergone change and are better for it. 

Some people are deliberate in how they allow change in their life. They may decide for instance to be better at loving, caring, or sharing due to either the bad or good changes which they've experienced 

Straight from my heart to you is this piece,

challenge you to be deliberate in loving, giving and caring. Regardless of the negative.

Allow your experiences to make you better. A reference point for all to see. 
Be open to love for life is love. 
Be open to giving for life is giving. 
We live when we take up hope and leap pass the place of pain to the arena of friendship and possibilities. 
Your relationships don't have to suffer because something bad or good  has happened to you. 
Be ready to live again, a Renew you after change has Occurred.
