The Purpose of Life Changes

Why is change important? Well without change there will be no progress, without progress there will be no movement, without movement there will be no growth, without growth there will be no development, without development there will be no events, without event there will be no time, without time there will be no space, without time and space there will no existence. Despite the importance of change we cannot help but resist change. Why is that? Well we are far removed from our natural purpose in life which includes my reference of the l’s of life; to live, to love, and to learn. Rather we live in a materialistic world, in a society where we are defined by career, status, class, sex, race, and age. We spend our lives trying to live up to the standards of society while losing focus on the purpose of life changes in our individual lives.

Our tendency to hold on to things in life that are liable to change blinds us from the reality that change must occur. Through change the process of life occurs; we are born and become children, teenagers, young adults, adults, middle age, old age and then we leave this life. Life changes are both expected and unexpected; life is not always what we expect so we must expect the unexpected. Life changes can also be voluntary and involuntary; we can either choose to make a change or life events forces us to change. Either way change is inevitable in the cycle of life.

The direction of change follows an individual’s purpose in life. Keep in mind that everyone has bad thoughts whether they are aware or not, but not everyone has good thoughts. Change can push us in the right or a wrong direction depending on our thoughts of purpose in life. I believe living life with a wholesome purpose is the best environment for change. Knowing our purpose in life is essential in understanding and accepting life changes, including steering our life in the right direction through our life choices.

The purpose of life changes is evident in our very existence, without change we would not exist. We experience life changes throughout our existence or lifetime and how these changes impact our lives depends on our individual purpose.  When we live life with a wholesome purpose it is easier to accept change because we can understand the benefits of change. We may not like or understand the difficult twist and turns of change, however, knowing with a positive perspective that change is a part of life perhaps the purpose of life changes would outweigh the our resistance to change.
