Change is inevitable….. (except from a vending machine!)

This captures the feeling that the Universe conspires to shaft us where Change is concerned.  We are ‘tricked’ into a series of changes we never chose and would prefer not to be wrestling with.  I guess there might be a some truth in this, in as much as we never chose some of the macro-events that shape our world, but by-and-large, we get the changes we need for our journey.

So if that great big vending machine in the sky has short-changed you today, perhaps you need to be asking “What can I learn from this?”  I don’t know about you but when I get to the other side of something difficult I usually feel that the race has been worth the candle.

“Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.”  Anais Nin

“They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”  Andy Warhol
