"It is always important to know when something has reach its end.
Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter
what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments
in life that are over."
Paulo Coelho
Facing change can be so overwhelming, we may be tempted to return to what we know, even if it is not good for us. We are not truthful with ourselves when we think, "This time I will do this instead of that and all will be well." We falsely return to an unhealthy situation rather than gather the courage to face the unknown even though it would better our situation.
To live in the moment, we have the past to one side and our future on the other, and both are impacted by the action we take in the moment. We have energy and we must decide where we are going to invest it.
When we accept responsibility for our lovely self, we no longer wait for others to create movement for change. Even if life deposits chaos in our lap, we get to choose how to react. To do nothing, we remain stuck or regress backwards. Do we really want to invest our energy in reopening a door that has closed or will we opt for a new horizon?
