"The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next."

Ursula LeGuin

The world around us changes constantly. Trees turn from green to beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and brown in the fall. Yet, even if we watched the trees carefully, every minute of the day, we could not actually see the colors change. Change requires time, preparation, and patience.
.
To make the changes we want, we need to let go of unhealthy but comfortable patterns that we're stuck in, the way the trees let their colors change and finally let go of their leaves altogether. We can't have total change right now, no matter how much we want it. It's important to accept both who we are now and who we are becoming. Just as the tree trusts without question that its leaves will grow and lets go of them when the time comes, we can believe in our own power to grow and let go of our accomplishments when the time is right.
.
When we do, we can be assured that our lives will blossom again, like trees in the spring coming to life after a cold winter.
.
Are you ready to blossom?

Life is uncertain and that is what makes life so wonderful in my opinion. :)
