The one thing that we as humans can count on from the day that we enter this world is change. No matter how much we feel that we need to stay in our provable ‘ comfort zone’ change is inevitable. From childhood to old age and death it is change that brings us to these stages in life. The good, bad and ugly of life begins and ends with change. Understanding this and coming to the realization that one cannot stop nor fight change but direct the changes that are unavoidable in life will directly affect the outcome of where this life on earth will lead. And like a chain reaction can affect your existence after your psychical life is over and your spiritual life begins. Not fearing these changes can help you see the bigger picture and allow for an easier transition from one stage to another.

Fear by definition :

being afraid or feeling anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event

Fear is an unpleasant feeling of perceived risk or danger, real or not.

Acceptance by definition:

coming to terms with something: the realization of a fact or truth resulting in somebody’s coming to terms with it.

the tolerating of something without protesting

 

Accepting the changes in life and accepting the responsibility of your action will determine the outcome for the next transition in your life. Even the undesirable events that occur in one’s live can have an effect on every other stage in life. For example Beth goes to the grocery store to purchase a can of orange juice. When she is checking out she notices the cashier looks upset and appears to not be paying attention and charges Beth too much for the juice. Beth then get upset and confronts the cashier in a demeaning way. Unbeknown to Beth the cashier is depressed she lost her child 3 months earlier and is contemplating taking her own life, and does after she gets off work. The next day Beth is reading the paper and comes across the article about the cashier and realizes that it happened only hours after she was rude her.

There are several things Beth can do from this point. She can take responsibility for her action and change the way she handles situations that come up or she can not take responsibility and continue on the same path. Destroying possible lives with hurtful words and reap the consequences one her journey after her psychical life is over.

Maybe not every situation in life is this dramatic but the results are all the same. Weather it’s hurtful words and you change someone’s life pushing them to extreme measures or a simple negative phrase you use and again, like a chain reaction that person does it to another due to the negativity that you bestowed upon them. The result is pushing that energy onto someone who is just like you. Who lives day by day and just wants to fit in and be happy. The moral of this story, take responsibility for the things you say and do, embrace the changes that need to occur to correct it and change your life and someone else’s for the better. Your life here on earth will be a much healthier and happier one. Remember, that you will be help liable for your actions weather it’s a direct or indirect action.
