“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
Charles Darwin
Change can bring incredible opportunities.
Like everyone, I love the familiar and having certainty in life, but change interrupts and challenges my old assumptions, thoughts and belief’s, which in turn, builds resilience, and reveals new perspectives and creative ideas within.
Change is a gateway to cultivating inner wisdom, leading us to greater wholeness and happiness. Sometimes the challenge of change carries a hidden gift within it, a seed of promise for a different future.
Whatever change brings us, we need to move with it like the wind, not against it. When we focus on what we gain from change, rather than on what we lose, we grow and live in the fullness of this moment.
LIVING IN THIS MOMENT 
Very beautiful and wise words Karen, and so very true. I was mumbling because I was becoming so sick, ever something more. But underneath that I began to realise something else was happening. I was becoming blind with cataracts…but I could ‘see’ deeper, within myself and others. My ears were blocking, but I could hear something more profound…in and around me. Even my taste had gone…but I was now tasting something more ‘electrically’. Almost like my body was fine tuning another me.
Change…I had become too busy with it instead of what I was becoming. They said these times were going to accelerate and become something more…but even I didn’t see this coming. Maybe a little too much too quickly…but isn’t that what it is.
I can now appreciate those chickens blind, suddenly cracking open into a blinding light, movement everywhere, and suddenly needing to eat, breathe and move so much more differently. If they can do it, surely I can with my…ahem, wisdom 😂
If you see me sitting in a chicken yard talking, you’ll know why. Wisdom comes in many flavours. Great post kind lady, thank you for sharing yours 🤣❤️🙏
Wow Mark that’s a lot to go through in a short time! I hope you are getting better. ❤️🩹 Change does not always reveal its benefits to us until after the suffering, but I do hope this eases for you soon, and you see the light and feel more peace. 🙏🏻🌈
Thank you Karen, and I hope that it ‘let’s go’ soon too. The allergic reaction is coming on twelve years now and I thought maybe it was just a wake up call. But alas it keeps speaking and my journey asks I learn to speak with my heart, and understand its empathy and compassion in doing so. It’s learning, it’s learning 🤣
And yes, I do see the light and begin to know its wisdom. And realise its peace, and the love it creates in going through it too. I have been given a very profound journey in seeing what I have, even if a few stumbles on its path. And for that I thank you for your blessings kind lady, they are gratefully received and returned in kind 🤗❤️🙏
🙏🏻🧡🧡
So true Karen as you say growth and wisdom come through assimilating the changes and adapting to them and learning the wisdom they bring. Your post is so profoundly true for us all. For many change brings initial fear of the unknown, which is usually irrational fear as I say in my books and talks: Fear Freezes us but Faith Forwards. Courage presses through fear to gain the reward. Another saying I remind myself of is: find the Treasure in the Trial, as in every change unexpected or other there is something of a gem to be found but one must look for it, often revealed later. I use to procrastinate but I have learned through my faith n the Lord to be more courageous like Joshua knowing that God is in all the changes that come and they are for my good not to harm me. This is an important post and we need to see what we gain is far more than what we think we have lost.
Finding the ‘treasure in the trial’ is a great way to see our challenges Ash. It’s never easy to move through change, and yes, faith, courage and patience are so important. Thank you 🙏🏻🌈
Wise words! 🙏🏼
Thank you lovely Eliza 🌈🧡🌸

Change can be so hard at times, but I so agree it’s something we need to accept as part of life and learn to flow into it. It’s something I’ve had to work on. Great reminder, Karen. Thank you.
Thank you Michele, it’s something we all have to work on.
Carl Jung says it well, ‘Without change we will continue to suffer from the effects of living an unlived life.’ 🙏🏻🌈🧡
I love that quote from Carl Jung. It feels so true.
Wise words Karen 💐🙏💛. Change can come in many forms and keeps us on our toes that’s for sure. Let’s all be ready for the dance. x
Absolutely Val 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 Life wants us to keep moving and growing 🧡
