Parts of your life can be comfortable, and you’d like some things to stay as they are or were. Maybe it wasn’t perfect, but it was familiar.
However, life doesn’t always work this way.
Then things changed.
Why couldn’t others change their ways and leave you alone?
That’s what I felt on a beautiful morning while lying on a blanket nestled in a grove of trees, next to a pond, looking at the sky through a canopy of leaves. A gentle breeze was blowing. Ahh, tranquil, exquisite peace. Perfect.
Several minutes passed and then…slap. Something got on my arm. No problem. Back to looking at the sky through the leaves.
Ouch. What was that? It’s okay. What a lovely day!
Gosh darn it. That one bit me. Then another.
Baby ants. Maybe I’m on an ant pile.
Nope. There’s an ant path under the blanket by my feet, but I’m not blocking it, I thought.
Well, they had another opinion and kept pestering me until I had to move.
I didn’t want to change my spot because it was ideal with no rocks, twigs or tall grass.
With the passing of time, though, the Texas heat had escalated. Not finding another suitable location, I realized it was time to move on.
Regardless of what I thought they could do, I had to move. I had to change, not them.
That’s how life is sometimes. We get in our comfort zone and don’t want to move. But some cycles run their course, and it’s easier to change (or should I say potentially more painful to stay) even though we might not feel like it.
Do you need to move on from one of your old comfort zones?
Is it time to let go of someone or something or a belief you’re holding onto that’s no longer serving you?
Do you want others or circumstances to change so you can stay the same?
Whatever normal was, it no longer is.
Maybe it’s time to move on to, even though you may not be able to see it now, something even better!

Yikes! Change can be uncomfortable.
Staying the same when it’s time to move on
can be even more uncomfortable.
