When Change Doesn’t Have to Be Bad
We’ve all learned to accept how quickly life can fall apart. An illness appears out of nowhere. An accident shifts everything. A single moment redraws the entire map of our lives. We even have a phrase for it: “Things can change overnight.” But notice how that phrase is almost always loaded in one direction. We expect sudden change to mean loss, collapse, or things going from good to bad. That expectation quietly shapes how we relate to uncertainty, as if chaos only ever works against us. But if life can unravel that fast, why couldn’t it also resolve just as quickly? What if the same rules apply in reverse? What if, in a single moment, your situation could pivot from stuck to flowing, from heavy to light, from impossible to resolved? Entertaining that possibility changes how we meet each day. It invites a different posture toward life, one rooted in openness rather than bracing.
