Earlier last week, I made the executive decision to cancel the trip for several reasons. Initially, this decision brought me unease as I was really excited to go. As I tried to sleep on it, and couldn't sleep, I ended up thinking and eventually writing a poem to help me get through the situation.
I know that in life one of the only things that is constant is change. Thinking about this made it clear to me that although the outcome changed, it was not necessarily a bad thing. Conversely, that the change was in fact a good thing.
Here if the poem I wrote:
The Roller-coaster of Life
Life is full of twists and turns,
Keep your head up for the lessons learned,
As at first you might not agree,
Have patience, everything is meant to be,
So embrace the change that we've come to know,
It's life's way to show us where to go.
Accept the change and ride the wave,
Good is to come so just be brave!
In life, nothing lasts forever. This means that we must focus on being happy now and making the best with what we have.
Instead of going to Florida on the business trip, I am staying in Colorado and going on the business trip here. Instead of going to UCF for the game with all my friends, I am going to the CU Boulder game here with my new friends.
Change will always be happening around us. It is inevitable. The advice I wish to communicate with that poem is not to focus on what your losing, but to focus on what you have to gain! Embrace the change and I have full faith that you will make good things happen out of it.
