The Paradox of Change
Take Pen to Paper: Edition 1
Many changes are welcomed. Others are feared.
We tire of summer and embrace autumn. Decorations emerge from storage. We pull on sweaters. Seasonal foods and activities make an appearance.
It's not just the change of seasons we welcome. Each milestone of life brings changes welcomed with open arms.
Expectant parents welcome the changes a new baby brings. Young children look forward to the changes of being a year older on their birthday. High schoolers anxiously await the transition to college.
A change one person welcomes, another fears.
Moving to a new city. Leaving the security of a job you hate. Letting your children go. The changes of aging. The list depends on your personal experiences.
Chosen or not, change will occur.
Facing changes with knowledge and a growth mindset will help you embrace the possibilities.
View change as the beginning of an adventure.
It’s time for a change. Welcome to my adventure! This is a newsletter just for you.
