Embrace the Change
This week, the Mind Over Matter Studio Blog was inspired by going to the Natural History Museum in Washington D.C. with my daughters. We were one of the first ones there and went straight for the butterfly exhibit. Over 300 butterflies of all sorts of species were housed in a tropical environment. As we waited to enter, my six-year-old daughter explains the 4 stages of the life cycle of the butterfly. She explains the egg to the caterpillar and even using the term “Chrysalis” for when the caterpillar is in its cocoon. She continues “then he squiggles out into a beautiful butterfly.” And these butterflies were beautiful. We saw so many different colors; so many different species. I was amazed at how delicate and gorgeous these creatures are and also how many varieties there are. The life cycle of the butterfly has its similarities to us. We grow and develop and through all the stages of our lives, we change. We are delicate, We are all different. the one similarity between all of us, is that change is a part of life. If you ever read, “Who Moved My Cheese” by Spencer Johnson, then you know this tale emphasizes that the one constant in life is change. I want you to embrace change. All change. Changes in your body. Changes in how you feel from day to day from year to year. Changes in your relationships. At first, change is scary. Change is hard. Change is different. Embrace the change and realize that it’s only for the better. So go ahead and step outside your comfort zone. Embrace it.
“Once you embrace the challenge, you will see the beautiful side of it and you will be free like a beautiful butterfly.”
