Change can be good

Sometimes we tend to hang on

To old things

Old memories

Old places

People we once knew

Who went away

Phases in our life

A time of joy or love

Loyalty to memories

Over loyalty to oneself

We tend to shun change

As though it is betrayal

But the truth is

Change is good

What does not change

Stagnates, decays and dies.

Change is proof you are alive

Change means you’re on a journey

You’re still on the way

To achieving something

A dream, a goal, a purpose

Change is process

Change is learning

Change changes us

You and I are not static

We move

We grow

We learn

We understand

We analyse

We thrive

We meditate

Looking back at difficult times

There is always something to learn

There are mysteries to solve

Questions to find answers to

Old patterns to decode

Delink from and discard

Who did what and why

Where is the key?  

Once out of that process

It is time to bid goodbye

To the past

There is no point in lingering

To smell the stale air

Of a bygone time

Come out of the stupor

Embrace the fresh new air

Change is new life

A seed turning into a sapling

Flowers turning into fruits

Our life is a circle

It keeps on turning

Just as the clocks hands

Keep moving

Move on, embrace change!
