Creating Life Change

This blog documents one of the largest journeys of my life – the decision to leave my home country, South Africa and settle down to a new life in Australia. This change included a career change and starting up my own business at the same time.

It’s easy to merely write this – but the experience can be quite traumatic emotionally. So many people migrate, continually choosing to live in different places that we all tend to accept and overlook such change as “normal”.

The reality is that any change of this magnitude has profound and life-changing results within your life.

I’ve looked back on the experience and identified some of the elements that made the transition firstly possible, and challenging – but mostly wonderful.

I believe however, that anyone can apply these principles into any major life change or transition they’re experiencing. Everything will seem to flow (albeit not smoothly!) from a sense of satisfaction and peace.

Everything in life happens for a purpose. And it’s your challenge, after discovering what it is - to live in it.

The reality is that your life changes around you regardless of whether you actively participate or not. Even if you choose to stand still – your world continually moves forward. This then, by default, unfortunately means you move backwards.

Therefore, if you embrace and fully experience all dramatic change in your life as being a welcome journey, it will bring you happiness and fulfilment.

We are changing – we have got to change –

We can no more help it

Than leaves can help going yellow

And coming loose in autumn.
