In February 1991 the Dyerville Giant, was the world's tallest tree, standing 370 feet tall and towering over it's surroundings. A month later it fell after over a thousand year reign. Now it is 20 years into providing food and shelter for hundreds of animals, ferns and bacteria...
Why do we resist change? Fear...
We know how things are and we have learned to live with even uncomfortable circumstances. Change may bring great relief and opportunity, but we say,"The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know."
Change is the Universe stating that it intends to keep growing, and growth is the fuel of change. Without change nothing would move forward, nothing could evolve. It used to be OK to enslave human BEings, but we have changed... Cigarette ads used to promote good health!
Some people are determined to drag their feet and be an obstacle to any change. Many religious folks are like this, they decide to fight against change, they become "righteous"... In reality they are, "Stuck in the past," "Analog kids," "Oldschool," "Defenders," and not the vanguard they imagine. "Truth" changes. Ideas about what is right change, not only by individuals but by whole societies. It has always been this way. We no longer sacrifice our first born on the altar.
"Change" is going forward whether you want it to or not; you can't prevent the sunset, and sunrise IS coming... Healthy living requires accepting change, adaptation, adopting new ways, ideas, embracing the FRESHNESS of life.
Today when you come across a, "That's the way we've always done it attitude," (whether yours or someone else's) imagine yourself at the fulcrum, the balance point, and go forward DOWNHILL instead of resisting the inevitable...
