A lesson on not getting stuck

Speaking with my sister yesterday about life and career and all the wonderful stuff that comes up often in our conversations, I came to some really interesting revelations. First of all if you put two or more twenty-something year olds together the topic of finding yourself and the right path is bound to come up. Ah gotta love the quarter life crisis. Secondly, although finding the right path takes much soul searching, courage and hard work (which we all already knew), the one.....and maybe less obvious lesson that I learned especially through opening up a business is to be flexible. And what I mean by that is be open to change that comes your way and stop resisting. I found this to be very important as a business owner and life in general.

What we do today at Green Lavender may not work tomorrow or it may need to be modified. As well what makes us happy today may not in the future, and what we believe to be important to us may be irrelevant a couple of years from now. Just because we chose to welcome change in our lives doesn't mean we messed up or made the wrong choice in the past, it just means we're open to constantly evolve. Its surprising how many doors open and new opportunities come up once we let go of a set of rules or definitions to live by. I'm no life expert but if you ask me that's a lot more exciting then being stagnant. Also its funny how much easier decision making becomes, all of a sudden that nagging pressure to make the 'right' decision disappears and you realize that as you evolve the things around you can be changed should the need present itself. So go on be flexible and keep creating yourself endlessly!

And speaking of change I have to send out a BIG congrats to Joanna and JP, who got hitched yesterday in Panama. Now that's some serious change!
