change The only constant is change. Yet we resist change with all our might. We afraid of it like a bad case of flu. We fight it, we deny the reality, we put the blinds on the change.
What if instead of resisting, we embrace change. What if we would accept what is happening with us? What is resistance anyway?
Resistance is a being afraid. It is filled with darkness, fears, anger, victim-hood and unhappiness. Resistance is looking back to the past, to the familiar and known. It locks us up in the box within our past experiences. There is no freedom in it. It only allows us to see what we already know, a known comfort. It prevents our growth and learning.
Acceptance, on other hand, is a first step towards the change. It is intermediary. Acceptance lets us to go on, gives us an opportunity to glimpse in our future, the first steps to take. It opens us to the whole new world of possibilities. Acceptance comes from the place of love, lightness and courage. It is feeling of the present. It is like an open canvas. It is up to us to fill it with colors we want.
What if we’d go about the day or week accepting everything in our life? It might be a struggle at first. If resistance creeps in, lets accept it, too. Let’s acknowledge it, and be present to it. Let’s see how it feels. It might be a knot in a stomach, a headache, sleeplessness. Now, let’s feel it, accept it and let it go. Letting go is like taking that huge stone out of our chest. We’ll feel so much lighter. Now, let’s see what is opening up to us? What colors we will use in our present and future? We are masters of our life.

self-confidence 
Take time to think this question…
We’re usually so wrapped up in everyday worries, responsibilities, bills, other people, we’re hardly have time to think about ourselves. Days go so fast, even years fly by. We usually put our dreams on the back burner, in the farthest corner, stuff them in the draw and forget about them.
“We’ll get to them when we’ll have time.” However, that time never comes…
Think again, “How much you’re worth?” Are you worth your dreams? Does your dream seem so far to you? Do you feel overwhelmed, thinking how much you have to do to reach your dream? What if, you are going to take one little step forward right now? What that would take? Step by step, one chance at the time. As you usually schedule important tasks, schedule your dreams. Skip watching TV if you have to. You are worth everything what your heart wishes. Do not put off your dreams any longer.
1) Identify them,
2) Take first step – even a small one,
3) Be persistent to take next steps.
You’ll be surprised how one little action will cause a ripple effect of other actions.
Most importantly, share your dreams with others. Ignore the ones that criticize you. Take ones in who support you. You never know, somebody may knows somebody who knows somebody who may help you to achieve your dreams.
Take a first step now…
