You're thinking of a big life jump. Are you up for changing? Your daily life would suggest not. Most of us want stability, a measure of security, foods we like, people we can depend on. We work hard to build our world like that. It gives us an underlying sense that we're okay.
Life, of course, throws blistering curve balls: job loss, aging parents, teenagers to raise. Now we don't feel so hot. We tackle change like this with more resoluteness than joy. We aren't sure what needs to be done. It eats up our time. We're afraid of both process and outcome. But we deal with it because we have to.
Choosing to change has one additional hazard. The universe isn't demanding it of us. Your heart may not be wholly in it. Our midnight resolution melts in the more demanding dawn. Go on. Test it. Decide that, for one week, you'll brush your teeth with the other hand. Feel the resistance, the meaninglessness of it, the pull of the more familiar?
See what you face with change? It's a kicker. It's not easy. Be prepared, as you venture into the new you're choosing, for the mule kick you and the universe will give your spirit.
