In moments of great change when one is in the process of leaving one state to go to another, the challenge is not to look back although the temptation to do so is great. To look back and ask the " what ifs" about one's decision too early in the journey is to become stuck -
like Lot's wife in Sodom and Gomorrah, immo bile and turned into a "pillar of salt". Scarry as it is, we must do it is the path to growth. as one writer said" God will not have his work made manifest by cowards."
This process of dying and awakening into something new requires a new mindset. The worst attitude to have is to leave one place and go to another only to expect to live the exact same old life one had, rejecting new things that will surely come along. It is a sure prescription for unhappiness.
BE AWARE, life is a cycle of birth, death, acquisition and loss,a dance marathon of opposites. Whenever we found ourselves it's opposite will manifest after a while if our life is to be completely lived. To awaken is to consciously accept what has died in us, to mourn it and move on to something where we can have a greater experience of being alive. Being awake allows us to choose being happy and free.
