Facing? Changes

# Chapter 3

This is a day of changes around here. Perhaps you are facing something similar. Even the way that we say that phrase makes it sound negative to me, “facing something” paints the picture of facing the oncoming whatever with stalwart steadfastness stoniness. So we need new language here . . . perhaps you are not facing something similar, instead you are engaging something similar? You are getting to have something similar? The thesaurus is useless here, but perhaps you are surviving, enjoying, drowning, celebrating, sinking or dancing with something similar? This is a laughable conversation in one sense, but it is a critical conversation in another sense, that our posture toward life is under scrutiny in this discussion. How we are thinking about our lives, how we approach our days, how we respond to all the things that we are . . . facing. Ok I capitulated and used the culturally common word again. But you get it.

What is your posture to what is coming your way? This is definitely something to be thinking about before it happens, at least you will get the chance to choose your posture. How we choose to face these things are largely what determines the quality of our daily experiences. And this will affect not only the issue at hand but also the way you prepare for it (before) and how you view it after it is all past (after). In other words this is a proactive way to live rather than a reactive way to live. This is the way to choose you how you respond to what life brings your way. Honestly this is the only choice you get often.
