It’s Okay to Have a Change of Heart

If something can change, it was never permanent to start with.

You can disagree now with what you defended then. You can make other decisions now, that weren’t in the plans then. You can do whatever you like now, even if hadn’t crossed your mind and heart back then.

Values, beliefs, plans, ideas all made with the very best intentions can change in a heart beat.

You may have started down a path back then, convinced you were heading the right direction, only to discover that it’s not really what you want now.

That’s okay.

You are allowed to have a change of heart.

The plans you spent years on may not fire you up and inspire you anymore. What you poured your heart into once, you may want it back now for something else.

See, you planned back then with the all the information you had about you at that time. Not for the person you are today. She wasn’t even around when you began.

Everything changes.

People change.

So will you.

Want to start over? Begin.

Want to rip it up. Tear it.

Want to remove it? Press delete.

Want to try something complete different? Today is a very good day to begin.

There is nobody policing you to say that you…you…the one who did indeed pour their sweat, tears, time, resources into one thing can do a 180 and start something else.

• You don’t have to explain your choices to anyone.
• You don’t have to make others understand your decisions.
• You don’t need to regret or feel guilty for changing your beliefs.
• You don’t need to see an idea to the end because you had the idea in the first place.
• You can change your mind freely.

You are going to change, this is certain.

Do you remain attached to beliefs, values, plans or ideas (that were never permanent to begin with) or set free those that fit who you are today? 

Even though it may be hard to release what no longer serves you, even though it may feel like you are giving up parts of yourself as you let go of the attachment and perception of who you thought you were, what do you choose? In the giving up, what do you gain instead?

Meet yourself where you are at today. Serve the world from the person you are at this moment, not from the you that you once were.

And remember, she will change too. If you want to get attached to anything, become attached to change.

Go on. Let it go. Rip it up. Decide otherwise. Choose again if you want to. It’s okay.
