"Seasons"
(A (very) short story by Kelly Gibbons inspired by the painting )
Seasons come and go whether we're ready or not. This change of season is automatic and perpetual. It's the way it is. We don't have a say in it, nor can we control it. Yet, we accept it and survive, and most of us really enjoy it, and even look forward to this never ending natural change. Nature constantly reminds us that there is a need for change--that change is good.
Why then can we accept this change, and yet be so opposed to other types of change?
The thought of change can be downright terrifying. Change can be hard and stressful, even if it is necessary. Why are we so resistant to change even if it might be good? Because, it is easier to deal with what we know. It's what is comfortable. Stepping outside the comfort zone can be paralyzing. That fear of the unknown and change holds so many of us back.
What if everything could be wonderful if we changed? What if we realized that change is inevitable (just like the change in season)? What if we stopped resisting and went with the flow?
Maybe we would see that change in us is as natural as the change of seasons; That we could free ourselves by realizing that change is simply a part of growth.
Embrace change and grow, resist and stay stuck. It's your choice. |
