"I am not afraid of change. I am afraid of things staying the same."

I wrote these words to myself in December 2019.
The full entry was this...
“I am grieving. 2019 was familiar to me. 2020 is all new. There are some parts I will miss about this season of my life, sure. The conversation around grief and loss in times of change and transition is my next purpose.
I don’t know how to give enough to all of the areas for me to be thriving in all of them.
I AM NOT AFRAID OF CHANGE. I AM AFRAID OF THINGS STAYING THE SAME.
I can’t even imagine doing the same as I have been doing. Now that I know the pain of loss to the level I have known it... I can’t unknow it. I can’t be satisfied with more of the same.
I hunger to do more. I hunger to see women own their struggles to do something with them. I must help women feel right in their bodies after being told they aren’t beautiful or sexy. I want to be at tables talking about how to make change in those experiences.
I want to write and tell stories. I want other people to tell me their stories. I want to be a catalyst for humans to be great.”
I share this journal entry to remind you that beyond all the reasons why to resist change or take the risk to do that brave thing you are called to do...
there is one single reason why to do it...
so that you don’t stay stuck in the pain of staying the same (which is so much greater than risking and growing through change).
Ask yourself is change a greater risk for me than staying the same?
You may not know where that first step will take you and if you try to go alone - you may turn back.
