Winds of Change

“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.

  1. 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 🤣❤️🙏

  2. 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.
