She woke up before the morning sunlight could softly touch her face. She rubbed her eyes off the turbulent sleep she was in, dreaming of him and sighed at the thought of getting ready for work. Another day of putting on a smile and facing the world, while she dealt with pain inside. She was aware that things needed to change and so did life. She wanted to move ahead but couldn't, as the only thing that pulled her two steps behind, was him. His memories and his touch. Moving forward just seemed impossible to her. Thoughts of solitary haunted her. She took a deep breath as she watched herself intently in the mirror. It reflected her image with all the broken pieces, shouting loud and clear that fear of change is a feeling, a feeling that only she could change.
So why is it that we resist change? Is deciding to change something, enough to bring in the right attitude towards change or are we missing something here?
"When we are dumped into change, our favorite strategy is to try to recover our lives as quickly as possible."
Today, I beg you to think of change more positively. When we say “This is a game changer,” that connotes something good and positive. And yes, it’s okay to “change” your mind.

If you find yourself wanting something month after month, year after year, yet nothing happens and you never come any closer to it, then maybe what you actually want is a fantasy, an idealization, an image and a false promise. Maybe you don't actually want it at all.
You have to choose something. You can't have a pain-free life. It can't all be roses and unicorns. Because if you have to choose, choose how you are willing to suffer.
Because that's the hard question that matters. Pleasure is an easy question. And pretty much all of us have the same answer.
The more interesting question is the pain. What is the pain that you want to sustain?
That answer will actually get you somewhere. It's the question that can change your life. It's what makes me me and you you. It's what defines us and separates us and ultimately brings us together.
So what's it going to be? Think about it...
Now that you have your choice, you know you'll need to kick some a** but you don't know how? Here is what you need to do:
