Warwick Life Strategies

The other day while standing at the Starbucks counter waiting for my order, I overheard a woman behind me say to her companion, “well you know what he said...the only constant is change.” Although I’ve heard this phrase used before, I found her words replaying in my head, most likely because this is a time of change and growth in my own life. Of course, I couldn’t even hazard a guess as to what she was specifically talking about, but literally, it seems like she was saying that change is inevitable, unavoidable, unquestionable...

I do believe that life gives us many opportunities for change but we have to be open to these possibilities that surround us and lie before us. Sometimes, however, our lack of awareness of what exists both around and ahead of us comes from our fear of really seeing what is possible. Fear can be almost tangible – causing us to create obstacles to progress or even to set up our own roadblocks. Sometimes it’s easier to maintain status quo than to face the unknown and venture into uncharted territory and expose ourselves to something new and different. But where is growth without change or triumph without challenge? And how can setting our fears aside and embracing change help move us forward to places we’ve only dreamed of?

Thank you for joining me on the WLS site! I’m excited to start off this blog – with many more posts to follow both by myself and by others with very interesting voices to share!
