Change happens, so true.

Sh*t happens to come along, and guess what? Change happens.  We share with close connections and the trust goes deeper.

We may be basking in a moment of success, a somewhat rare occasion when the day is cruising, uneventful, time is yours to play with … when it happens. Yes, change happens, we’re on our toes once more.

I rely on change, I know that now. So much in fact, I wouldn’t be pursuing the path I have been on these past 15 years. If it wasn’t for those ripples on a flat sea or sunshine during a particularly dark and dreary day. Change is my inspiration, I don’t see how any of us are the worse off for distraction, it’s vision, the fuel for doing.  Discovery.

As it happens we’ve come out of two weeks break time over the holiday and for me and the family it was lovely. I’ve had time to reflect, (steady, I hear you say) the extra time offered me the chance to empty the tank and see from whence came or what was the case for … value. For me.

Reflection is rare for me.

The most valuable thing we have in our lives is our time and our energy, both being in limited supply. It is the people and the situations we give our time and energy to that will define the way we live, how we exist.

I appreciate the company of close family and good friends, more so as the years go by. I see change as the opportunity to remedy. Those situations where I’m surrounded by selfish people, (it happens) you know, when we find ourselves giving so much … only to find that nothing comes back. The givers and takers analogy I guess …

In that situation, yes, I’m seeking remedy, by which I mean, I’m changing the company I keep.

It may not be easy to side-step those who appear to rely on my input for their own gain … I understand it’s important to help. We need to change by degree.

I’m inspired by something else. Those who influence me are the people who encourage introduction … different/fresh points of view, different tales, are vital to the way I see life.

I enjoy my life and I’ll continue to seek out those inspirations because people are the key to being where we wish to be …

This is what feeds me, I applaud these connections. We all are different. Made up of a combination of different stories and influences. The role of collaborative, like minded souls in our circle for me, should never be underestimated.

The good for me is not always good for you, the givers and the takers, the time thieves, the cultivators. Change is good.

Collaboration is a key driver of change. If I’m stuck for ideas, I see change as the opportunity to grow from within. 

By listening out for change we’re learning from others. I’ve been very lucky. How does change inspire you? Take your time, let me know … when you know …?

People buy from people.
