No need to hurry

As the new year creeps up on us, we get tangled up in all the madness of excitement, champagne, and partying. Im going to admit that new years is my favorite holiday. Nothing beats it! The reason I love it though is because of the blend of three things; change, taking risks, and being adventurous. I guess in a way those are all the same thing, but they're wonderful parts of our world. Some people might disagree that change is wonderful, but I have a question for all of you.  If we had no change,  how would we exist? Well, we wouldn't if you began to even ponder about that question. We grow every day into better, more evolved people. Anyway, look at me getting all carried away. The point of this blog post was to challenge all of those who read my blog. Please, just slow down. Right before it's 11:59, or even right at 12:00, think about a way we can change how we live now in order to become better people.  I know that right when the new year arrives, ill be closing my eyes and challenging myself to get to know myself in the middle of the bustle, and when I succeed that, I will know that I am really me. (By the way, you will definitely see another new years post come up!) I hope you all enjoy the holidays! :) and remember; just slow down and reflect.

Future plans... I mean surprises.

Things never turn out the way they're supposed to. We always get involved into something thinking "Okay, this is how it's going to turn out." But really, it never turns out that way! Life hands us situations and we're always the one to be surprised by the end result, when later in life when you look back you begin to think "How did I not see it coming?" How can we change that? How can we look at a situation before we get involved and know what's going to happen? Sometimes I wish we had the ability to do just that, but I know we can't.
But it's not always a bad thing. Usually the best things in life are from surprises. That "unexpected" child. The spontanious travel plans where you meet your future spouse. It's really amazing how these things just happen. So, since we never really for-see our future, we should stop trying to, and begin to really just absorb what's happening now.

Embrace the change!

Similar to my last post about time, it's become evident that change is unstoppable. As human beings,  we can't exactly control it, but we can control how we react to it. Whether it's something small like a hair cut, or a complete change of attitude, we must embrace it. I suppose those examples weren't the best to choose because they are both controllable but there are situations that we come across that we can't control. When someone dies, it causes a change in the perception and sometimes in the way we live. As the most intelligent species on earth, we're pretty damn weak. Well, let me rephrase that. Bigger things such as mother nature are much stronger than us which is hard for us to accept.  We're so used to controlling everything like other species, that we can't believe it when fate or karma intervenes and throws us off.
With all of this nonsense that we can't control, we need to find something that we can. As I said before, we can control how we react. Instead of feeling like giving up when things get hard, let's change how we look at it. Let's embrace the change and change our whole lifestyle. That's what I love. When I'm too comfortable with my life, I'll do something dramatic to mix it up. Yeah it may make things more complicated for now but in the end when we're able to really be thankful for the things we love, we'll learn to shape our lives around change.
