Looking back, I can vividly remember those moments when change came knocking—usually uninvited! And let me tell you, my first reaction wasn’t always a graceful “Sure, come on in!” More often than not, it involved venting my frustrations, processing my emotions, and then, finally, finding the courage to say yes.
What about you?
Think back to a time when life handed you an unexpected shift. Did you welcome it with open arms? Or did fear, uncertainty, or practical concerns make you hesitate? Maybe there were kids to care for, bills to pay, or other responsibilities that made embracing change feel impossible.
And if you couldn’t say yes to change in that moment, did you carry a sense of regret or wonder about what could’ve been?
I get it—I’ve been there too. There were times when I wanted to embrace change but felt stuck in survival mode, just trying to keep my head above water.
It’s in those moments I reminded myself that surviving is the first step, but the goal is always to thrive.
