The combination of quotes from you and your mother are very true, yet “outside forces” constantly badger to just “get over it”. There are many people in this world who can relate to this type of situation, no one knows exactly how you feel or what you need to do for yourself to survive but you.
With change it will happen whether you want it to or not. You need to try and find the courage to either be one step ahead of it, as in to like you say be the author of it, or accept it and be able to improvise and take the next step. It’s never entirely easy but if you can remember that you are worth the fight as an individual it may not be so hard.
Another terrific article with powerful insight! Yes, change is very challenging for us human beings, but it is change that brings opportunity into our lives that never would have otherwise presented itself. In my work as a Life Coach, I am always helping clients to identify what that new opportunity is for them. Your beautiful article is a great tool to encourage them to approach change proactively.
