Fall is a time of change. It is a time that we are encouraged to go within and reflect on where we are at in our lives. Are we on target for the goals we set? Are we creating the necessary boundaries we need? Can we let go of thoughts, patterns, or relationships that no longer serve us? Accomplishing goals were always easy for me, while the words surrender, let go, and trust were a serious struggle.
I thought that in order to achieve anything in life, you must work hard. That included my career, health, relationships, and essentially anything that I could control. Unfortunately, sometimes that meant people too. I have had quite a few relationships that ended with a realization that I could not change the person in front of me. When we look to change another person, we are really only looking to change ourselves.
Change can bring up all kinds of fears, but we must face our fears in order to grow and create the life we want. It is through loving and trusting ourselves to close one door and allow another to open that will create the change our hearts desire.
