You Can Change


"Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation." -Alan Cohen

How many times have you been moved to change by an event? It may have been an event that tore down into your comfort zone. An event that turned your view of life upside down and altered much of what you knew.

These events may have been small or large, hurtful or only irritating and maybe un-planned. At the time of these events we give them huge weight in our life. We lift and carry them like boulders, struggling to proceed with anything meaningful. We give these events power over our lives.

But from every burden in our life, we have a choice to make. We can continue to allow the event to control our being. Or we can choose to turn the event into a positive change. We have the ability to overcome and transform our life into something greater.

Throw down the boulders you might be carrying. Throw down the negative and choose to move beyond its control. Choose to live your life.
