Change
by Masha Ellman
Life is an ever changing ever
evolving process. We are a part of this ever changing
life and we should continuously strive to expand and
deepen our own understanding of who we are, what we are
and where we are within this vast experience of life.
Every single one of us can
transform our life if we - want to. Any change has to
come from the inside of us. When we are willing to
shift our internal ground, we open ourselves up to
operating on a much more expanded level. We open our
selves to living from a higher level of consciousness.
Some of us are happily stuck in our
narrow self created views and proudly announce that we
will be sixteen forever. We condemn anyone who dares to
tell us that we are limited minded. We profess that we
are happy just the way we are and we don’t need any
change in our lives. We continue to see ourselves and
others from the same place and refuse to look beyond.
We happily stay stuck in the patterns and behaviors that
we have accepted for ourselves. We hold on to all of
our old ways for dear life, and we see no need, have no
desire, or want for change.
I love the story of the old beggar
who sat at the edge of the road. One day a young man
came up to him and asked him what is in the box he was
sitting on. The old beggar answered, nothing, it’s
empty and begged for a few pennies. How do you know
it’s empty, asked the young man, have you ever opened it
and looked inside? The old beggar replied, I don’t have
to, I’ve been sitting on this box for the last thirty
years and I know it’s empty. The young man was
insistent and told the old beggar that he will give him
a few pennies if he opens the box and looks inside. The
old beggar reluctantly opened the box and to his
amazement the box was filled with gold.
We cannot expand. We cannot grow.
We cannot reach a higher vision for ourselves if we are
not willing to step outside our set views. When we are
fearfully holding on to the old declaring that there is
nothing more that we need to know that - we know it all.
Life itself is always growing,
changing, and expanding of itself. We are a part of the
life process whether we believe it or not. Accept it,
or not. Want it, or not. Our goal should not be to
live our life like the old beggar. Our goal should be
to live the most productive, fulfilling, and empowering
life that we can. Instead of settling in the old, I
encourage you to embrace - change.
Many Blessings,
Masha
