New Beginnings

It takes a great deal of faith to put in the effort in a world where there are no such thing as a guarantee.

Change can bring about a lot of anxiety—especially change that we didn’t initiate or ask for. And honestly, even when you’re the one who quit the job or chose to leave the relationship, or decided to go on the trip, when the pieces of your life are shifting around, it’s normal to feel at least a little out of control.

What makes a new beginning so difficult?

One thing that makes it so difficult to start something new is that we don’t really know where to start. Yes, of course the possibilities are endless. They are infinity, in fact. But that is part of what makes it so difficult to know exactly where to begin. Because where should you begin when you can begin anywhere? In the face of all that possibility, all that blank space, it is easy to feel a little intimidated, even a little lonely.

But even though change is often difficult, many times it’s also for the best. Accomplishing anything great in life requires significant change that pushes us beyond our comfort zones.

Many times, the only way to improve our lives is to force ourselves to undergo difficult change. That might mean breaking up and leaving a stale – but comfortable – relationship, leaving a mediocre – but stable – job, moving away from a nice – but uninspiring – location, or anything else that’s holding us back from accomplishing our dreams.

Of course, dealing with uninvited change in our lives is often difficult and painful. In many cases, instigating major, but necessary, change in our life can be just as painful. But whatever change you’re dealing with, know that how you cope with that change will have an impact on your future.

Here are some quotes about change in life:

“It doesn’t matter where you are, you are nowhere compared to where you can go.”– Bob Proctor

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”– Michael Jordan

“Never too old, never too bad, never too late, never too sick to start from scratch once again.”– Bikram Choudhury

“If work were so pleasant, the rich would keep it for themselves.”– Mark Twain

“As soon as anyone starts telling you to be “realistic,” cross that person off your invitation list.”– John Eliot

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.”– Mary Anne Radmacher
