Are you experiencing a change in your life?  Maybe you’re going through a divorce or breakup.  The emotional roller coaster of change can be scary.  It can shake us to our core.  But what lies on the other side of that change can be beyond our wildest dreams.  How do we not know what our future holds if we don’t let go of what no longer is serving us?

“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you.  And do not worry that your life is turning upside down.  How do you know that side you are used to is better than the one to come?”  Rumi

When going through my divorce I had to learn to embrace change. I was use to the “picture perfect” lifestyle with my ideal house and ideal lifestyle. When all of a sudden it was like everything was swept out from underneath me.

I lost my house. I lost my security. I felt like the life I created for my kids was gone. It was during that time of complete brokenness that a counselor told me it’s time to create a new normal. Those words have stuck with me.

Sometimes we resist change thinking that there’s not a better side of life. When in reality we’re scared of the unknown. We stay stuck in our comfort zone.  We become afraid of what life looks like if we make a big change rather it be a job, a new relationship, living in a new location, or walking away from a situation.  Often the biggest breakthroughs are on the other side of fear. 

If I hadn’t lost my home, my marriage and my security at that time I would have never created my new normal. And looking back that scares the crap out of me. Because where I am today is beyond more beautiful and unimaginable than I ever thought possible.

Have faith that the better and more beautiful side is to come.
