We can change. People say we can't, but we do when the stakes or the pain is high enough. And when we do, life can change. It offers more of itself when we agree to give up our busyness.
In her book "Almost Everything: Notes on Hope," Anne Lamott emphasizes the transformative power of change, particularly under challenging circumstances. She argues that while many believe change is impossible, individuals often do change when they face significant stakes or pain in their lives. This capacity for change can lead to profound improvements and new opportunities.
Lamott also highlights the importance of surrendering our constant busyness to embrace life's offerings. By letting go of the relentless pursuit of activity, we open ourselves to deeper experiences and connections. This willingness to change and prioritize what truly matters can lead to a more fulfilling life.
