Embrace The Unknown
Learning, learning, learning. You never stop learning. In your life you’re constantly learning, and if for some reason you think you’re not, you actually are, you are just blind to it.
Every single time life’s throws things at us, we learn something even if we are unable to see it. Even when you think you’ve got some things figured out and you have nothing more to learn..SUDDENLY there are times when you realise that you actually don’t have a clue again, you no longer understand what you had understood, because things can just CHANGE. Just like that. In a blink of an eye. Or maybe even something that has been building over time – nevertheless, at any given moment, something in your life can just be altered, in a instant. It may be due to external events or situations or it may be that you suddenly have the urge to adapt or swap your thoughts and feelings about something, or someone, finding yourself with completely new views / opinions. Whatever the circumstances, “change” can present itself to you as a setback or as a step forward. There are times when this change to your life is totally OK or on the other hand totally NOT.
However I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason…and NO, that doesn’t mean I expect life to go my way. Far from it. Life is constantly fluctuating, chopping and changing, throwing plans or ideas up into the air. Life is constantly moving, back and forth, up and down. The key to life is how you adapt to this changes, how you cope when things don’t work out like you envisaged or accepting what you once believed no longer applies. It’s ok to go with that change and become at one with it. It’s happened, it existed in your present and now it’s in the past.
I once read something like “A bendy tree never breaks”. I strive to be that bendy tree, swaying, harmonising, synchronising to the constant flow of the winds of change. I aim to move with these changes of life events and perspective, I will try to just roll with it.
When something in your life changes, sometimes it comes as a surprise..sometimes not so much. Sometimes it is ground-breaking, earth-shattering and other times it’s so minor, so subtle, that you barely even noticed its existence. Sometimes it is relieving, sometimes it is exhilarating, sometimes it is stressful…and sometimes it can create an energy so powerful that sits in the pit of your stomach, to stay there until you figure out what you want to do with it. This trip so far has included many of these changing moments which have been challenging in their own unique ways, but each time I have grown and expanded to all the possibilities that could arise from them. For once in my life, I have started to gain, learn and take something from even the most difficult or most minuet. I have begun to allow these changes to mould, transform and guide me so that I continue taking the next appropriate steps of this crazy journey that we call life.
If I can give any advice today, it would be, to be as open as possible to these changes and trust them. Then, you must trust in yourself, trust in your heart, your soul, but most importantly trust in the universe. Have faith. And Believe.
The future is never set in stone. The future is a exciting. My future is so exciting. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for the future. Every day I can feel myself growing to new levels. Of course I am sad to be coming to the end of my trip but I am actually excited to be returning to London in less than 3 weeks time. Something I didn’t think I would be saying, but it’s true. My forever expanding journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance is exciting. My overwhelming waves of inspiration is exciting. My copious amounts of ideas, ambition and passion is exciting. My heart that is full of so much love is ready to take on the next part of my life, wherever it may lead me, which is so incredibly exciting.
Yes, the future will be tough, scary and I know there are many challenges & hurdles that I will have to face and overcome. Yes, I know that life can be unbelievably hard, but my heart can also see the beauty and it knows that it will be full of excitement. The future is exciting. I no longer fear the unknown. I welcome it with open arms. I will embrace it.
