Why Is Making a Change Important?
Surrender. Leaving the temple. Leaving home.
Each requires stepping away from what is known into what is unknown. Each requires departing what feels safe for what feels risky.
Our departures vary—sometimes we leave behind places, people, or behaviors, depending on the crossroads before us. But if we refuse to leave? If we resist the call? We find ourselves trapped in a cycle, trekking the same path, circling back to where we started.
Growth only happens when we’re willing to be vulnerable—to accept that we won’t have the exact road map and that we’ll need others along the way. If we say yes to this, we end up somewhere new, with new possibilities.
Otherwise, we remain in the same patterns, and like still waters, we grow stagnant.
Recognizing the Need for Change
So, where do I find myself now?
In the same familiar behaviors, reaping predictable rewards with the same consequences. The stress is familiar, the ego attachment unchanged, and I find myself less connected, justifying where I am.
So, what’s it all for?
What is my end goal in this life?
Is it to receive accolades and stockpile worldly success? Is it for that which is temporary? None of that will come with me to meet the Father. None of it will impress God, and none of it draws me closer to Him.
Am I more inspiring in this situation or less?
The answer is loud and clear: NO.
Grace in Letting Go
There is grace in all of this—because I needed one last trip around this path to finally recognize the need for departure. And now that I see it clearly, I won’t look back.
Beyond this moment, there is a whole life waiting for me—one that is new, different, and aligned with who I truly am.
It is less about control and accolades and more about love and connection.
I realize now:
✨ I have stories to tell and stories to hear.
✨ Lives to impact.
✨ Air to breathe.
This next chapter will involve less movement and more presence—God’s light fully passing through me and out into the world, blessing others.
And that is why making a change is important.
