Common Change
Do you ever have those times in life were it feels like everything is leading up to on day or a certain moment?
Recently I got to thinking about this feeling and what might cause it. Decisions in life are what make you who you are. How you choose to go about life and how you react to events around you- they are all decisions.
It’s not always a yes or no decision. Often times we choose not to answer questions or answer to events in our life. This is where we find it best to complain about the actual event instead of fixing it. So the decision will lingerer over our head as we go about our day until it is answered.
When you start answering to these desires and decisions, you begin to notice change. Let’s say that you decide to quit your job. So you start looking for a new job, and just so happen to find the ideal job that fulfills your needs. All of the sudden, you notice other things in your life are beginning to coincide with this decision. Maybe the holiday season was nearing and you just noticed that it is upon you. Of course it comes with a load of decisions in it’s self that must be made in a time critical manner.
I don’t believe it is something happening which is out of your control. That is to say, I don’t think that events just pop up and just so happen to have a common deadline. However, I do believe that we subconsciously notice other changes and accommodate our life to them. Almost as trigger to force the change we want to see through. Let’s take a look back at the holiday example again. In the back of your mind you know that the holiday season is nearing. You are also not happy with your job. So you use one event to spur another into action.
Another reason you might notice the common change is the simple fact that they are all tied together more closely than you might think. Take for example something like money. It affects almost everything that a lot of people do in their everyday life. From your job to your car, the money is what is connecting them all together. The same can be said for happiness and how you feel about your life.
Whether or not this is a good or bad thing to do in our daily lives is not for me to decide. All I am doing is observing something interesting that I noticed in my own life.
