Change we choose vs Change we don't

Lately I have been thinking about change we chose vs change that is forced on us.
And I think there is a difference, certainly in the way we feel about it, how we respond and more...

It wasn't that long ago where you couldn't enter most businesses especially banks, unless you removed hats, face coverings, anything that impaired their ability to see your face completely.
You will know that has all changed, especially here in New Zealand. 
You currently can't enter any business or bank without looking like a modern day cowboy ready to rob it. We are all masked and covered.
We have had change forced upon us! And it feels different.

We face similar issues it seems in regards to our health.
You can make changes to get yourself healthy or the doctor could tell you change has to happen. 
Or maybe you ignore the advice and live with the circumstances?

Again there seems a big difference between change we choose, that we feel is our choice, where we feel we have a measure of control verses the alternative.

What I am trying to convey is this...
In life you actually get many choices. And one of them is to own the change you might recognise you need. You are smart enough to know change chosen by us as opposed to forced upon us, is inherently better.

So if this is speaking to you today?
Where you know you need to make a change...
Please be brave and make that change.
And if you need some help with it, ask for it, reach out to someone who could help you navigate the change you need right now in your life.

Something to think about...
