I always say that life is better if we live it with joy, excitement, positiveness, respect and inner peace. When these elements are missing, some things must happen to transform your life. It means that a change needs to happen so the transformation of your life can begin.
The transition from one state to another must be done gradually, so you can experience the best part of it and integrate what you have learned during your experience.
With Autumn being here, we can look at our beautiful nature and how it changes. This is how the transformation must happen. When we look at the leaves during this beautiful season, we can observe that they gradually change their colour. From green to yellow, to shades of ochre, to dark red and brown, these leaves experience their journey effortlessly. Then, they fall and become one with the earth. They transform life into stillness and rest while feeding the Earth for the following cycles of life.
How amazing is this transition! How amazing, this one element of nature tells its story of life! Enjoying the ride and falling to become one with the Earth is the most humble story of existence.
The leaf accepted to fall. Its falling was done graciously, like a last act of a theatre piece. Changing is transformation. Changing is rebirthing a new life. Changing is hope for a new dawn, changing is hope for a new bright life. Changing is hope for a new journey.
Changing what you once were familiar with is not always easy. Transforming your life as a human being needs courage and inner strength.
Human beings have the gift of fighting against almost everything. We accept change with difficulty, and we are afraid most of the time of what might happen in our future. We often forget that our future might be brighter than we think it will be. We are driven by our inability to look deeply into our beings and trust our guts. We are afraid of falling. We are afraid of getting our hands with dirt, we are afraid of trying new things.
Let's learn this season the lesson from the leaf journey. Let's embrace change and transform ourselves. Transition is the life experience that brings us to another place that we need to be. Once you decide, whether personally, professionally or simply changing your life as you know it, everything will fall into place. The pieces of the puzzle will be revealed to you. Then, you can finally say to yourself: "I finally finished the puzzle that I always wanted to finish! It was not an easy task, but I finally did it! " Once you finished your puzzle, look at the whole picture and admire the beautiful scenery in front of your eyes.
It was done by you, by your efforts, by your actions, by your attitude, by your inner strength and your inner focus. Regardless of the whole effort that you put into it, you decided that the time was right for you to move to build your journey how you think it should be.
Transformation must be unfamiliar and strange to you, but it is something necessary. Only by doing it, you can become the best version of yourself.
Your singular journey is about yourself and not about those around you. They certainly play their part in your journey, but it always comes to you to make that change and begin your transformation. You are the decision-maker in all the affairs of your life. You are responsible for everything that involves you. If you are not ready, take your time. Only when the time is right, you will completely understand the importance of transformation.
When you feel like transformation is impossible, imagine yourself reaching the point when you want to transform your life effortlessly, just like a leaf during Autumn. Change and transformation can only happen when you are ready. As an artist is ready to replace his/her canvas to start a new painting, you are the artist who can be ready to paint a new canvas for your life.
