Some of the hardest days for me are those that involve change or separation from the normal pattern of "life". Some days I think about where I want to be and why I'm not there, and others content with the success that has driven me right to where I am. Change is such a necessity. The most dangerous change, and the otherwise most uncomfortable can lead you to the most beautiful places.
Recently, I was thinking about the change of a butterfly and the comparison it offers to the metamorphosis of life and faith. A caterpillar builds a cocoon just like we build our lives and in the end, they trust that they will come out this beautiful being, and they most certainly do. Butterflies are often felt as a wink from the heavens. I have no doubt about it that one day I want to transform.
I want to turn into a beautiful being. I must first accept and allow change, and know that if change never happened, and times in life never hurt....I would not understand the beauty of the change.
Life is always going to be filled with regret. Whether you are carrying it for yourself or you feel the pains of seeing someone with regret we must all understand that change is inevitable and so is regret and remorse. We live in a world where we second guess ourselves and we lose faith at the cost of our own security.
Today, I am thankful for change as hard as it can be sometimes- It can lead us through dark places into some of the brightest futures. I am thankful that I have the ability to fail so that I can understand success. But most importantly today I am so thankful that I have the ability to change and change can happen around me, because every day- I want to continue to change for the better.
Love,
The Blessed Burrell
