The Winds of Change

Birds can adjust to the winds in flight. Most trees can sway under strong winds and bend without breaking. In nature whenever something changes, adjustments must be made in order to maintain or restore balance. Any shift or change always requires adjustments. In other words, change always causes change. Skyscrapers and bridges must be built to be flexible. In like manner, we too are built to be resilient, as evidenced in how easily children can adapt.

When the winds of change are blowing in our lives, we must be able to adjust to the changes. Indecision and vacillation are sometimes the result of an inability to quickly adjust in flight. Fear of the unknown and the fear of consequences, often keep us paralyzed and unable to adjust to change.

Just as the novice paratrooper, paralyzed by fear, must be pushed out of the helicopter in skydiving, we must sometimes push ourselves beyond our fears to adjust to change. The more we challenge or discipline ourselves to welcome shifts and changes the more successful we will be in soaring through the winds of changes.
