Change

“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” (John A. Shedd)

I feel myself changing. I don’t know who I’m going to become or how I’m going to get there. All I know is the next step I must take.
Anxiety and fear take turns in my heart, but just like a butterfly cannot stuff its wings back into its chrysalis, I can’t go back.
Always keep moving forward, my friends, no matter how scary. Change will happen. It is already happening. We cannot stop it. Our wings are aching to emerge if we let them. Our anchors are made to be lifted so that we can venture into the mighty ocean. The tides may challenge us, but we cannot stop them any more than we can halt the wind. We can become masters of our sails and use the wind and tide to take us where we wish to go.
