The only constant is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
— Isaac Asimov
When I reflect on my personal beliefs, I become ever more aware of how much I view life as a series of never-ending transitions. Think about it: how many times do you see (now that we live in an online, social-networked world) people putting out there all the changes they're going through? Do we ever NOT experience challenges or growth, or periods of ups and downs?
"...inevitable change..."
We can't control it and we can't even think in terms of where we presently are. While we live in the present, we must think in terms of possibilities, the future. That's not to be taken as to worry about the future, but to open us up for thinking big, of dreaming, of aspiring. It's all very exciting, if we can look at our life changes and futures as pregnant with possibilities.
I recently met with a new client, a psychic, or should I say an intuitive artist. She, of course, gave me a reading, and in this reading, I chose three cards. The first two cards centered around parenting and children, and positive expectations. It was an allegory for exactly how I feel as I continue to freelance and build my own self as a brand and business. I have all these ideas and possibilities and interest and it's all very exciting, and I'm approaching it with as much positivity and enthusiasm as I can. But I'm not sure, quite clearly and exactly with clear, uninhibited confidence, of how to give birth, so to speak. Both the cards were dark and signaled my conundrum of happiness but anxiety, much like an expectant parent.
The third card was creative expression--bright and light, with a fairy leaning against a beautiful piece of stonework. The intuitive artist pointed out this stone, that it signals everything I'm working towards will be concrete, will take shape, will become firm and solid. I am on the right track and everything I'm putting energy into will come to life. I may be sick of being pregnant and my baby may feel like it's late, but it will come!
I honestly don't go to psychics nor intuitives nor anyone like that. I went through a period earlier in my life where I explored it, as I often have explored many ways of thinking or experiencing life. I have definite opinions and beliefs but I don't proclaim to have any definitive answers to "life, the universe and everything" as Douglas Adams wrote. But hearing this reading made me feel pretty good, and it was nice to feel that way, because I've been experiencing as much anxiety at times as joy.
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
— Emily Dickinson
These are pulsing, crazy, painful, beautiful times. I hope you're enjoying your roller coaster ride of life!
