Totally Fulfilled
Let’s face it, most people hate dealing with change, yet it is the one constant in our lives. We can fight or ignore change, or we can embrace it. If we don’t learn specific ways to embrace change, living life at a Totally Fulfilled level is impossible. Not making a change when you know you should, or fearing change, is the fast- est way to a stagnant life. Take this journey with me. I’ll show you how to embrace and welcome change, no matter how difficult it may be. A New Beginning Every emotion is a thought we give life to. Whatever you concentrate on grows. Embracing and welcoming change is no different. You’ve probably experienced unwanted change many times already in your life. Have you ever had a relationship that didn’t work out? At ten years old, I remember running home and telling my mom, “I’m in love.” She shook her head, knowing what had started and, in this instance, what would surely end. She told me that what I felt wasn’t love, but I didn’t believe her. A few weeks later, the inevitable happened. My girlfriend told me she wanted to be “just friends.” Those are words you never want to hear, no matter how old you are. I remember feeling devastated on the bus ride home. I went to my room, locked my door, put on a Journey album, laid face down on my bed, and cried. And why shouldn’t I? My life was over, wasn’t it? Can you remember a similar experience? That intense sad- ness lasted a couple of days. Then I just seemed to recover without much effort. Before I knew it, the feeling was gone and I was back to being a regular kid again—at least until the next girlfriend. I forgot about the unhappy ending and found a new love. Even though at the time I thought the breakup was the worst thing that could ever happen to me, I got over it and moved on.
