Embracing Change

Everyone reacts differently to change. Some people crave change and thrive in the midst of the new and unfamiliar. Others brace themselves with grinded teeth and hope it will all be over soon. No matter your approach, we all must face it. Seasons come and go, relationships ebb and flow, and we ourselves change as we grow. Change is difficult because it requires letting go of the known and sometimes loved. But without change, we would never blossom into who we are meant to be.

Embracing change is our heartbeat this season at KiraGrace, and these are our most beloved quotes that help remind us to welcome change with open arms:

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." – Alan Cohen

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." – Peter Druker

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” – Albert Einstein

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." – Anais Nin

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!” – Audrey Hepburn

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another." – Anatole France

“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.” – Pema Chödrön

"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." – Nelson Mandela

"Change is in the air, as old patterns fall away and new energies are emerging. Consciously release what needs to be released, and welcome with a full embrace the newness you've prayed for and so richly deserve." – Marianne Williamson

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." – Joseph Campbell

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." – Eleanor Roosevelt

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." – Maya Angelou

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly" – Henri Bergson

"Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end." – Robin S. Sharma

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." – Anais Nin
