I watched The Croods today and it really touched me. It wasn’t my first time seeing it, but my first time actually realizing the message behind it and I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it, but it’s about this family (The Croods) and they’re cave people, following these rules to survive which is basically staying in the cave unless they were hunting and it wasn’t night time and Eep (the daughter) really wants to go out to explore life beyond the cave, but her dad doesn’t want her to and when they do travel because their world is ending, they realize how much change is necessary for them to live the life their supposed to live because in the cave they were just surviving not living! (it’s a really good movie! I recommend) Long story short the message that I got from it was that although change can be very scary… we just have to take that leap of faith because usually the things that scare us the most are the things we are meant to do. In all honesty starting this blog scared me, but I have allowed myself to let fear stop me from living in my purpose and I am not doing that anymore! None of us should because life is too short to not do the things that make us happy. Do it afraid and trust that everything is going to be okay. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6.
“Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.”
- John C. Maxwell
*This means that change is going to happen no matter what, but it’s whether we choose to grow from the change that makes growth optional. Grow from change! Nobody is perfect. we’re all growing and learning.
