LIFE IS PRECIOUS BUT FRAGILE

VERY WARM WELCOME TO THIS UPLIFTING BLOG,

There is a common misconception that Truth is difficult and painful to accept.  Change although inevitable is also often difficult and painful to accept. Even though we are all aware that no progress will be achieved without change, yet people are still naive to accept both truth and change. Perhaps this is the logical reason that derives the end result as to why only a small percentage of people achieve success in life.

To be more precise, I must say that an instant change is often a difficult subject to talk about especially in front of a group. Hope you don't get me wrong here. That is also the rationale as to why success is so predictable, yet so few people achieve it.

In this article, I write to share with you that it is critically important for us to realize the truth that our lives can change at any moment. I am not trying to frighten you but to get you prepared for it. In today's world, everything changes so rampantly in almost every thing we see and use. Realistically, our everyday life responses to these changes knowingly or unknowingly; willingly or unwillingly. We just don't know precisely when it will happen to us. Therefore, being adaptable to the changes is the Realistic solution.

Many of us will get the dreaded phone call, giving us some piece of bad news especially in this Global Financial Crisis situation. You may hear from your boss that you are fired or your doctor may tell you that there is something seriously wrong with you and you may have a very short span of remaining life.

Changes may go both ways and so does the crisis. The good news is that your life can be altered for the better in both changes and crisis. For instance, in a least expected worse situation, you may meet a new friend or like minded people and come up with a brilliant idea, or discover a new career direction or venture. With just a small little idea or venture, you just discover your fortune. Now you see life is so exciting and mysterious.

Be calm and never fear the idea of change. To know more on how to embrace an uncertain mindset, you may read my preceding article at the link below.

We must admit that things just can't be there forever; except God and His words. Regardless whether we like it or not, things are going to change over time. Living life with such awareness will ease us to accept changes, which is unavoidable in nature. In this way, we will not be shocked or thrown off when a change come and cause us unnecessary burden. Smartly and wisely, we should just response to it with an unruffled sense of acceptance.

I will never forget the time when I was about to have my bath in the evening in the year 2002 and received a crying call  from my sister and was shocked to know my dad had passed away. This news just come out of the blues, for no reason, he was just about 67 ( No one knows his actual age due to its underlying story). This came less than a year after my grand mother, from my mother side passed away at 103. My uncle, my mother's younger brother, also passed away at age of 50 plus,  a few months later than my father. Initially I must confess that I don't see any good in these changes until I accepted Christ. Subsequently, I am convinced and convicted of the truth that everything happens for a reason and for good. The truth finally free me from all these bondage and I believe in Him more. Please do share with us your experience as how you embrace your uncertain mind sets and overcome all these challenges regardless whether it is of the same or different in term of nature and type.

  
One thing I have learned is that we should always be prepared for the change, as a matter of fact. Every day we are subjected to situations in which the underlying issue is the simple truth that life is changing. 

It is worthy to note that change is not only inevitable but also something we can prepare for. I know some of you may find this statement weird, but stay with me and read further. Some of you may have experience of giving away all those things you no longer need and have held on to for too long. You may hesitate/ be uncomfortable initially, subsequently you find cleaning your house is much easier than before after you have cleared the above items from your house. Here, you see that though change can seem difficult and unwanted, it can also lead to pleasant surprises. My advice is that it is good that we get out from our comfort zone and do something we find uneasy or weird regularly so that we can adapt to new changes much easier. Please do share with us should you have other ideas to cope with changes.

Acknowledging the simple fact that life can and does change instantly is a first step of acquiring this powerful tool of welcoming changes without any hesitation. With this, you may impact others in making changes in their life rather than waiting for the changes to force them to accept them unwillingly. When life does spring surprises to you, this awareness will allow you to respond to it with an open heart.
