Change isn’t always comfortable or easy, but it is simply part of this life. Some changes are small and maybe simpler than others. To make a big change will be a challenge, and for that reason we want to offer to partner with you as you seek the big changes in your life. Breaking free from addiction may be the toughest change you’ll ever make, and we’re glad to be your usher, shepherd, or journey-mate.
Addiction has several aspects (5, to be exact*) that need to be sufficiently addressed before lasting behavioral change is attainable. But maybe the first and foremost, we need to stop fearing change. Nothing that is alive can avoid change, so let’s try to welcome the idea of change, look for the gift that the challenge will bring us, grab change, hold it close and dance with it. For to live is to change, my brave friend!
Please consider this quote attributed to Confucius:
They must often change,
who would be constant
in happiness or wisdom.
-Confucius
Change is beautiful!
And if Confucius, foliage, or butterplies aren’t your kind of inspiration, there’s always Steve Winwood, who also urges us to be ready for change. And of course, I claim no rights to this music or video. I just wanted to be sure you had a chance to see it.
Thanks for being awesome.
