Remember those questions - why me? Why now?
I've looked at the etymology of the word change - it's earliest meaning refers to the process of becoming different.
While I like growing and becoming different, it's not easy. Metamorphosis is never easy.
Have you ever watched a snake shed it's skin? Seen a caterpillar become a butterfly? Change is difficult. It requires work.
And who wants to work when they didn't ask to make the change in the first place?
I think it's important to be aware of how our emotions come into play during times of life metamorphosis, because anger can lead us down a dark path that's difficult to escape from.
Anger is real. Anger is powerful. And anger is a natural byproduct of change.
Handle with care.
