Real change

We normally seek change in response to resisting and rejecting an aspect of life—a circumstances, an event or a part of ourselves. We are thus in reaction to life and more precisely in reaction to life as we don’t want it. And this, ironically, becomes the springboard for the pursuit of the life we want, which is more akin to avoidance than to change.

Real change is not in the wanting to change, but in the acceptance of things as they are. It results not from denial, but from acceptance; not from aversion, but from impartial observation.

Real change comes from the absence of the desire to change.
