SCRABBLE: Somethings OLD, Somethings NEW
It is the beginning of a new month, but a lot of Septembers and rolled their 30 days ’round before.
For students it is the new beginning of another academic year; same old systems of students and teachers with brand new opportunities for discovery, learning, and inspiration.
My personal space on Punta Alta is undergoing a transformation of its own. Many of my familiar things on shelves, on the walls, in the closets have moved out; some of them remain, shifted to new locations; some have moved on to new owners via GOODWILL and The Salvation Army. Movers are about to arrive with an infusion of stuff which will change ‘my place’ into ‘our place’. Somethings ‘old’ will be ‘brand new’ to me.
We all go through this life encountering many new beginnings. And yet there usually is a common familiarity with new experiences. We each assign qualities to the way we deal with ‘newness’ and ‘transitions’. Some people feel fear of the unknown; some people delight in surprises around each bend; some people dread the adjustments that must occur to have change; other people resist the changes that they have opted to undertake.
You have control of the way we meet and deal with the changes in our lives.
For those who have difficulty dealing with change, it answer may be hard to understand, but it is very simplistic: when you seek to change you are still bringing yourself along. You are bringing along all of your ‘past’ hopes, and dreams, and fears, and likes, and resentments, and preferences, and beliefs, and more . . . .
If you find yourself saying, “Back home we always did it this way . . . “, then you are stuck in your past and resisting new opportunities to see things differently.
If you are attending a lecture or class with an expectation related to some past instructor, you may be sitting in judgement and miss out on all the good stuff being offer by this new teacher and program.
Scrabble players who say, “I can never remember a word unless I know what the word means”, may be right, but the statement indicates to me that they are not open to the other possibilities that will allow them to achieve greatness in the scrabble ranks.
You set your own limits on our own greatness. You are your own stopper.
‘TODAY’ is always the best time to begin a new regimen for change and improvement.
