Evolving Individuals

One thing we all have in common is the natural evolution of self from one phase of life to the next. Even without the tragedies that we suffer along the way, we are always evolving, growing and changing. This is usually a process that goes unnoticed until we gradually realize that the things we used to like, we don't like anymore, the things we used to enjoy doing don't move us anymore, the books we used to read lay unread because of a lack of interest for that subject or author one day, even the food we desire changes, and I can go on and on.

Sometimes, we are shaken suddenly and change overnight when confronted with some unexpected loss and pain, either by a death, divorce, huge life changes out of our control like job loss or diagnosis of an illness, or whatever hits us that causes unexpected and sudden changes in our perspective on life and hence on how we live our life. This suddenness causes immense discomfort and uncertainty until we learn to live our lives with our newly jolted mind's eye.

If you are reading my blog, I assume that you have endured tremendous pain and I am writing this today to remind you that you have been through the mill, so to speak, and to remind you to be patient and be kind to yourself during this sudden and unnatural evolution of self. This is more of a learning process and you will learn to see clearly from your new mind's eye and adjust to your new path.

Best to all,
Judy
