Change

Nobody likes it.
Not when the waitress tells you that your bill is 3.45 and so just to make it even you give her a 55 cent tip.
Not when your publisher says, hell no. That's crap. Re-write this completely.
Not when your own consciousness says, hey! You're going the wrong way! If you don't change now, you're headed for emptiness and self-loathing! You don't want that, do you?
But it is absolutely necessary.  We must change. As soon as we get comfortable, we must change.  Change is the spice of life. It is that ingredient that always seems to be missing until you realize that something different needs to happen and you act upon it.  Attitude changes, personality changes, routine changes. If you become comfortable, then you are living life wrong. There are hundreds of billions of things in the world you have left to try! Why do you stick to the same 5? Because you're good at them? No! Because you want improve upon them? No! Because you're scared to try something new.
I'm scared.  The start of this semester was great. I was doing new things, I was seeking new challenges. I was actually living. Now, I'm going through the motions. It has become a drag just to keep doing the same things I've been doing this whole semester.  I need spontaneity.  I need change.
So when things got too stifled up in my dorm room and meeting rooms and class rooms, I pulled on a coat and my feet stuffed into faux-leather black flats, I froze on a walk in the dark to a nearby creek.  There, in the complete blackness, I stumbled down a hill. I took a road in between some hills, twitching at every sound, my imagination (I must admit) getting the better of me.  And I cried. I cried for a long time.
I am not ashamed to admit, that I am a daughter of God, a sister of Christ Jesus.  And so I am also not ashamed to admit that I cried and prayed and told God that I was absolutely not satisfied with the way my life was, that I felt the need to be validated, that I was not content with the same old thing day after day.
The message is not that we need to pray to God every time we get too comfortable (although it often helps, especially if you haven't prayed like that in a while) but that every time we get comfortable, we need to change our path so that it better suits us and those around us.  We need to find a way to rejuvenate, to reinvigorate, to re-inspire our souls and are hearts.  We need to find ways to change boring rituals into new traditions.  We need to find the fire in our bellies, the spring in our legs, the tensing muscles in our lungs and jaws that are all the signals that our soul is still young and ready to explode from our bodies and spread its message and love and vision of hope throughout the world.  We need to reconquer our own minds and bodies before we can conquer the world.
The method to our madness is...Change.

Cheers!
