We all must deal with major changes in our life: in our work; in our close relationships; with the people or colleagues around us; with new, unexpected and, at times, unwanted circumstances; with our financial situation; with sudden or chronic illness; with all kinds of loss; with aging and physical changes; and finally, with the approach of death. Major life changes can be highly destabilizing, and often we are not happy about them but would have preferred that things had stayed as they were before. We cling to our memories of the past and to the thought "if only it hadn't happened!"
What we need to realize is that constant change is an important part of the divine plan. It is not meant to hurt us, but quite the contrary: change comes to us intelligently, intended to help us grow, aiding us in developing greater inner strength.
Change, in other words, is a positive event which is indispensable: it is like a wise, though often tough, teacher in the school of life. Would we, the students, ever learn and evolve without it? So how can we deal with life's changes positively? How can we find inner security in times of worldwide change, when our entire planet is unstable and insecure?
