Time of Change

What do you do when things change around you and you are not in control of these changes. Punt!!!! Ok maybe not use football as the answer but it felt good saying it. You want it to be different but realize that like me you can't change the people around you, all you can do is accept what they have chosen and move on. I think this is the hardest thing to do because it makes you feel hopeless and without power to make a difference.
The difference I realize is how you handle the change and your outlook. A positive attitude is more than half the battle in winning at this game called life. Not many people like change, or like to accept it especially if it is not something you asked for.
Some changes come by others choosing for you and then there are those that you choose. It is the ones that others choose for you that are the hardest to accept and process. Once you get around the emotions of the change if you try to look at like how can I make lemonade out of these lemons (as the saying goes) you will have a good chance to make it better for yourself.
It is changes of the magnitude of starting over that I am dealing with. I have made alot of mistakes in this process that I am going through. I have hurt some people which I am sorry about and wish not to repeat doing. Even with the knowledge of what not to do you still ask the questions of what to do. No one seems to have the answer that seems to work for you. Something that will magically make everything alright. So what is the answer>>>>>?????
Do you have one? Hiding is not an answer, or drinking your life away, but friends do make things a bit better in the area of handling the changes that are going on.
So in the lessons of life, like I heard it said that "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it" goes the same for you and I, that unless we examine the past of our lives we are doom to repeat what we just went through.
Remember something, you are not always the best to see yourself, that is what friends and acquaintances are for. So don't think you know yourself fully, test it against what others might say and weigh it out against what you see...........
