Description
Many of us are afraid of change. We assume that even if things aren’t exactly perfect now, they can always get worse. Remy Charlip wrote a children’s book called, “Fortunately.”...
show more“Fortunately, Ned was invited to a surprise party.
Unfortunately, the party was a thousand miles away.
Fortunately, a friend loaned Ned an airplane.
Unfortunately, the motor exploded.
Fortunately, there was a parachute in the airplane.
Unfortunately, there was a hole in the parachute.”
The story goes on and on. The point of the story, besides being funny, is that it is hard to tell sometimes what’s a good change and what’s a bad change. All we can really do is confront the changes we are faced with and make the best of them.
Cuban-French author Anais Nin writes, “We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
She adds about herself, “There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Remember, the only constant in the world is change. Try not to be afraid of it.
