Change happens for a reason, it is never easy, but then nothing worthwhile in life is easy! It is quite hard to let go and move on, but once we do, we feel free from the emotional shackles that were holding us back and we realize very soon it was the best decision we ever made.
Our future hopes and happiness should never be defined by our fear-which exists only in our minds. It is a joy to follow our hearts, and a tragedy to let the lies of fear stop us.
There is no such thing as the 'perfect moment' for positive changes in our lives, we must let go and dare to seize the most opportune moments and make change happen-life is far too short to simply ruminate endlessly about what 'should have' and 'could have been'-we are not the same people we were a week, a month or a year ago.
Humans are forever evolving and growing; life and its' experiences don't wait for us to come around to accept them, whether we are absent or present, life goes on with its' rewarding moments for those who find the courage to let go of what they could not change or alter.
When we stop expecting life to be perfect, for people to be the best they can be, we are no longer holding ourselves down with things that are out of our control, we have grown and matured enough to appreciate both life and the people in our lives for what and who they are.
Simplify your lives, share your love, caring and compassion generously, communicate honestly and truthfully, stop focusing on how unlucky you are, and remind yourself about how blessed you are, there is always that one other person or many other people who have it so much worse.
Remember, Yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore to this day! such is the salutation of the dawn.
