“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” -Elizabeth Appell.

We all like living in the comfort zone, because we know what to expect and there is no fear. But since we live in a world with constant change, we can’t get too comfortable.  We can resist change or we can accept it.  The more resistance, the more pain.  When we sit motionless and stagnant, we are wasting precious moments.  When we are defending and holding onto something that is causing pain, we need to release it and move on, and we will emerge better than before.  We will get the gentle nudge to keep improving and advancing toward purpose and fulfillment.  When we are brave, take risks, and embrace change, we will live a more adventurous and joyful life.  When we keep our hearts open and renew our minds, everything will flow accordingly.
