Change

Whether it's wanted or not wanted, expected or unexpected, it happens. Fear is felt as the strength to move forward competes to overcome it. The unknown lies ahead and taking a step toward it is requisite. What there is at the end of this path is hidden. All that is certain is that the steps must be taken. The journey begins. Like a babe learning to walk is difficult, the adjustments to this new life seem next to impossible. Looking back is painful, though almost preferable to the suffocation that living in the present induces. The originality of the future is optimistic and it anxiously waits to be claimed by those who will use its promises to best the challenges given to attain it. Moving forward in change confidence is developed, trust in oneself is gained. It forces the being to action, adaptation and ultimately growth.
