Cant bring back what use to be
Life don't stay the same thinking bout what use to be
Everything changes (life always changes)
Everything changes...changes - Ledisi
As I sit back and think about life and all of it's many ups and downs I see that there is truly only ONE thing that has remained the same. Things are CONSTANTLY CHANGING!
Take you for example...think about the dramatic changes that have occurred in you physically from high school to now. Your hair is different, make-up is different, your style of dress...oh and lets not forget the extra WEIGHT you've picked up! Scary...isn't it? But we are the perfect examples of change!
How about your friendships? Remember the people you grew up with...do you all still hang together? Or the people who your promised to keep in touch (KIT) with in your senior yearbook..when is the last time you called? Over the years does it seem like your "circle of friends" has gotten a little tighter?
Then lets not forget the magic word...LOVE! Has your definition remained the same? Think about your first love. They were EVERYTHING you thought you wanted out of life...now...think about when it ended. I bet your definition of what it meant to be in love changed, didn't it?
I say all of this to say that as we continue to grow and evolve our thoughts and definitions of friendship, relationships, and love will CONSTANTLY change. The question is that if change is something that we all know happens, why do we fight it? Why is change one of the most difficult concepts for us to accept?
Ledisi's new CD "Turn Me Loose" has the recurring theme of life changes with songs like "Everything Changes" "Going Thru Changes" and "Them Changes". I challenge you the next time you start to feel things in your life taking new form..DON'T FIGHT IT! We were put on this earth to constantly learn, change and evolve. EMBRACE IT! Be Blessed :)
