The only constant is change

Regardless of our willingness to change the title quote remains true. You only need to look out the window to see the trees changing throughout the seasons and (where I live) the daffodils starting to ease their first tentative shoots through the half frozen earth.
"I am willing to change"
This is often the first affirmation I will give to new clients. It opens up a chink of light for universal intelligence to start working. By stating that willingness, we are saying "YES" to something more, something better, something new.
In her book 'You Can Heal Your Life', Louise Hay talks about the transformation process. Using the analogy of the roasting pan after a Sunday roast. When you have finished cooking it looks quite bad, but when you put it in the washing up water and start scrubbing, it gets real messy. The thing at this point is to keep scrubbing, eventually you have a clean pan, all shiny and looking good as new. Sometimes when we start cleaning ourselves it can get a little messy, but I can assure you, it is well worth the journey.
If you think about the journey a caterpillar makes to become a butterfly - they literally return to quantum gloop (a well known technical term) before re-configuring their cells into a light and beautiful butterfly. Our journey of transformation will never be that challenging or require quite that degree of trust in the process of life. Although when I first introduced the roasting pan concept to a friend of mine, she said, "to hell with washing up, I'll throw it out an buy a new one." She just wasn't ready :)
Regardless of where your life is now, you are enough and you already have everything you need to have a fabulous life. You are at choice as to if or when you take a step towards transformation.
Sometimes we get stuck in the ego trap of 'having to change' to be deserving. This is not true. At the core of your being you are universal intelligence, those vibrating bundles of energy that are the basic substance of all things. That is who you are, regardless of how disconnected you may be from that knowing.
I know that I am an eternal spiritual being having a temporary human experience, and still I want to grow, to learn and to become a better me. It is the natural order of things, just like the daffodils.

Today I am willing to change. I welcome my growth and expansion with ease and grace. I embrace the fertile soil of my life, allowing it to nurture, feed and support me in all that I do.
