Yesterday,  I watched our dear neighbors, Ron and Marty, begin a new chapter in their life and I couldn’t be more excited for them.  The moving truck pulled up early and began the final sentences of their current chapter.  A few months ago, they had found a home on a beautiful lake…something they had always dreamed of having.  While the transition into this new place wasn’t exactly “smooth sailing”, they kept the faith and belief that if it was meant to be, it will be. 

Of course I was sad and teary to say goodbye to them because they were such wonderful neighbors.  How grateful I am for the years they spent next door.  At the same time, Ron and Marty’s situation was a good reminder to me that the only thing truly constant in life is change.  They had a dream to live on a lake someday.  While they may not have known the how, when, and where, they knew the what.  They knew their dream.  And the only way to get to their dream was to make a change.  Without a doubt, it was scary and uncertain at times and it still may be for a little while, but again their faith and belief will supercede everything else.

So this brings me to my new chapter of change that I am super excited about…my new blog.  Like Ron and Marty, I didn’t know (and still don’t at times) the how, when, where, but I focused on the what and the rest fell into place.  New chapters are like new seasons.  They are refreshing, uplifting, and inspiring, but they can also be frightening, scary and full of uncertainty.  A new chapter is about change and the great thing is we get to pick how we want to feel about the change.

What new chapter are you willing to start in your life?  If change is the only thing constant, why do we resist it?  What would it be like if we embraced it?  What if you looked beyond the fear and uncertainty and expected the end result to be your dream?  I invite you today to write down the ‘what’ of your next chapter.  Forget the how, when , and where.  Just focus on the what.  It’s the first of the month, expect great things to happen to you over the course of the next 30, 60, 90 days. 

Remember, the only thing constant in life is change….

Soar Into Your Greatness!
