The Burden of Change

adapt |əˈdapt|
verb [ trans. ]
make (something) suitable for a new use or purpose; modify.

modify |ˈmädəˌfī|
verb ( -fies, -fied) [ trans. ]
make partial or minor changes to (something), typically so as to improve it or to make it less extreme.


What is everyone holding on to?  Why is this new century being bogged down by addictive laziness?  

Change is not something someone will show you how to do.  Change is only accomplished from within.  
Once one discovers the freedom which comes from "alternative" living they are uplifted.  A new light is shown on how to live.  We see through the lenses of a new paradigm and life seems refreshed.  Yet, there is still struggle.  Like walking up a stream, or even more so, a street full of zombies.  (Not the eat you kind, just the monotonous, lame kind.) A current which is against everything you think about and strive for.  A current which is flowing blindly into self destruction.  A waterfall into pity and regret.  Why can we not let go?  Why can we not move forward thoughtfully and consciously?

Some say truth will set you free.  But it will make you miserable at first.  I say why?  Why not go ahead and allow the truth to be righteous and precious?  Let it be the exuberant celebration of newness.  When you are able to let go of all that you are addicted to then you are able to shine and live freely.  

We heal ourselves when we are sick.  We take vitamins, pills of any kind to "cure" our problems.  Yet when some are still so addicted to the manufactured happiness which comes from the system we are shy of happiness always.  They wont drop the addictions to heal themselves.  They just make excuses.  If only we could all realize what true health is.  What to heal really means and how to adapt and move forward into the new....
