A Paradox?
A few months ago, I switched from tracking everything in Outlook only to using the old “daytimer” method. My system of choice is from Franklin Covey (original pages, classic size). I know that folks swear by the use of all the electronic gadgets, but for me, there is comfort in putting pen to paper. I am much more organized in my head since I did this, by the way.
What brings that up here, though, is that each day, there is an inspirational quote. Most of the time, the quote gets lost in a flurry of need-to-dos and already-did-dos, but today when I was on hold, my eyes settled in on today’s quote and I wanted to know if it was something you agreed with – or disagreed with.
Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found. (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
I see the paradox, right there in green and white, but in my life?
Fear seems to be the factor that keeps people from making changes in their lives, but when you let go of the fear and take a leap, you often find the security in your life that you have been longing for. Maybe it’s because I took the leap about four years ago and started my own business. I know that I am still fearful of many things and it keeps me from leaping to some changes, but I do prefer to to keep some momentum going. It’s why I chose “Courage” as one of my words for 2008. I have discovered that making changes, growing as a person, reforming my life is truly the way to give me what I need in order to believe in myself.
Paradox? At first glance. But true in my reality….. what do YOU think?
