Movement

.
Every day of our lives we move.
Whether it is running errants, moving to or from a job site, or just moving around the house doing chores ~ there is a certain movement going on in our lives. And even those with a more sedate life style may eventually get up for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat...

Apart from this very obvious, day to day movement, there is also the more purposeful movement driven by the desire to ‘go places and do things’. And again, whether that is in a career environment, from a personal perspective that says ‘the top ten things I want to experience this year are...’, or things you want to do in your leisure time ~ each of them has a certain movement associated with it.

And then there are also kinds of movement that are perhaps not quite are apparent ~ like mental movement; the movement we go through when we experience or discover things we didn’t know about before. Or the emotional movement we go through when we start feeling differently about a situation or a person...

All these kinds of movement are fairly common in our lives, and in reality we often don’t even give them a second thought. They are normal movements that occur. We might even be more surprised if any one of these movements stopped happening in our lives because we get in some kind of situation that hampers our movement. Even if that is just having to stay home because that important package is being delivered today...

Yet all movement brings change into our lives; oftentimes in ways we never anticipated.

For instance the job offer we may get simply because we were at the right place at the right time. It wouldn’t have happened hadn’t we been ‘on the move’ in the first place. And that ‘chance meeting’ may well bring major changes into our lives.

With every experience we have in our lives ~ with every step we take on our personal paths ~ we move forward. And we change. Leaving the old perspectives behind as new understanding is attained. Setting new goals. Doing new things.

The interesting thing about it is that al of this we see as nothing out of the ordinary. Moving ahead is normal. Doing different things at different times on our lives is common.
And yet, as soon as we look at these things from a perspective of change rather than movement ~ we start resisting them big time!
