Transition…

As I sit here thinking about the times I had in Dallas (Texas as a whole) and I compare it to Denver (the city in which I will reside in just a couple of days), I think about that word ‘transition’. As we know, transition means to change, switch, evolution, conversion, alteration and etc. As I mentioned before (in a previous blog), we as people do not change, only our behaviors/actions. Immediately after that current thought, I think about my life in Denver a few years ago. It was an experience that I did not see coming. This experience brought on new views on life, friendships and relationships. Did that experience change me or did it change my behaviors?

One can only hope to learn from our mistakes and take those mistakes with us as a reminder of what NOT to do. For some, we resort back to that child ‘smile and hide’ phase in our lives that cause us to make the same mistakes continuously. We get back in to those same toxic relationships, allow those selfish friends back into our lives and knowingly harm ourselves.

Why do we go back for additional hurt MORE than we go back to the things that make us happy? Why do we choose to become ‘masochists’ instead of optimists?

This is something thing that I will continue to work on in my lifetime. I always consider myself a ‘work in progress’ because I want to better myself as a person on many levels. Will I always be that person that becomes a slightly nervous when EVERYTHING is going right? YES! However, I am learning to change my behaviors and actions so that I can enjoy the moment right then….right now…at that instant.
