"Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.".... Leo Buscaglia
Change does all of those things; it can also inspire terror of the most unreasonable sort in even the most valiant among us. Some people instantly freeze at the mere notion of any kind of alteration to the "habits they inhabit". Ruts are windowless by design, which explains the tunnel vision and lack of drive of the average plodder. But why feel trapped by situations that could be repaired, remodeled, or rotated away from by simply believing in your own power to succeed and then acting accordingly?
Investing in yourself truly is a worthwhile cause, yet so many act as if it's a criminal act worthy of severe punishment. Women have always been more subject to that mindset than men. A lifetime of voluntary incarceration is a fools bargain. No matter what material is used for building it... guilt... pain... grief... spite, the key to freedom always rests firmly in the hand of the prisoner. It's the convincing them of that fact that is the highest hurdle in the race to their freedom. Is it truly preferable to simply continue suffering familiar agony than it is to risk the changes that may heal your wounds, but will most certainly demand personal growth?
Internal alterations can be painful, but any chance for positive change is always a risk well worth the undertaking. If it causes you some pain to alter things for the better then at least your pain will have meant something and gained you a fuller life. Why don't you.... think about it.... let it ride.... then YOU decide????
