Change Finds Us

If you’re trying too hard,

it will never happen.

This assertion came as part of a discussion on how to get back to sleep in the middle of the night.

It also holds true for the change we seek.

When we’re trying too hard to make change happen we can over think, over do and over feel.

Instead of progress, we find resistance.

Instead of ease, we find tension.

Instead of joy, we find frustration.

Just as we might do with sleeplessness, how might we relax and give our change the space it needs to happen. When we breathe, and trust the process, change might end up finding us.
