Change is constant and to resist change often requires a lot of energy. Loosening up that focus and grip of control allows for us to encounter life with more calm. Moving with the waves of change, rather than against them, are two very different pictures. Welcoming change can be similar to moving with and riding the wave of change with which we are presented.

Letting goof how something needs to turn out or a vision of how it has to be can offer space for something new. Uncertainty can involve fear, anxiety, hope, waiting for answers or hoping for a particular outcome. Thinking about the future picture again and again will not change things.
