"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." --Maya Angelou

The Pain & Beauty of Change

"The reason for our suffering is our resistance to the changes in life. And life is all changes. While I resist change (and suffer) just like anyone else, I have learned to adapt. I've learned some flexibility. I've realized this: Everything changes, and this is beautiful." Generally, it seems we have two options in regards to change: we can choose to react negatively, or we can choose to react positively. Leo Babauta, however, would like to offer us a third option: embracing the reality of change. In accepting the constantly changing circumstances of our lives, change can become an ally in our development and growth, no matter what happens.
