Every 7 to 10 years, we all become new people.

All the cells in our body are replaced by new ones and our organs are revitalized in some ways. As humans, we are forever changing as our bodies grow older and our minds grow wiser. However, the irony in our existence is that we fear the inevitable changes placed upon us. We fear a process we should be familiar with. We portray a negative image upon a six-letter word we have no control of.

This fear of the unavoidable is useless.

We can't do anything to stop the modification, so wouldn't it be more practical to embrace the change? It seems terrifying and vulnerable to open up to new experiences, but it can be easily acceptable if we authorize ourselves to see the positive aspects of them. If we allow ourselves to see the good in something different, we are guaranteed to live happier lives.

Change isn't a villain. It should be your best friend.

A change is, in some way, always for the better. Change happens to fix the circumstances you find yourself in the middle of. Whether you're changing friends or homes or jobs, all of these things are happening for your betterment. It might not seem like it at the time, but one day, you'll look back and be thankful to have been placed out of your previous situation.

Change occurs to give you a second chance. It allows you to lift the weight of the world off of your shoulders. It expands your knowledge and increases your strength. It gives you more excitement into your life when everything seems too consistent. When life is rocky, it is something you can always rely on to fix your situation.

As Heraclitus once said, "Change is the only constant in life."

As people come and go within your life, change can intimidate you, but it is always there to guard you or reveal to you. God allows a change in order to test you and your strength. He uses change to guide you closer to Him and see both yourself and Him in a better, newer reflection.

So, don't let such a small word sadden you. Don't let it anger you. Don't let it scare you. Realize you are undergoing this because there are better opportunities out there for you. There are unseen adventures out there that have the ability to allow you to blossom into the best version of yourself.

Each time you or your life changes, see the beauty within it. It's a new start. It's your new beginning.
