You mean like losing personal freedoms and physical life itself. Unexpected change is usually brought on by evil people. Change does suck, but it’s always bad change instead of good or better.

…OR adopt. Nothing wrong with giving a loving home to a child, and ‘mothering’ in that fashion. OR consider being a foster parent to one or more, volunteering at a group home in your community, assisting in after-school activities, helping with Scouts, Boys & Girls Club, offer respite care to deployed military families, etc. Don’t blindly limit yourself to just one traditional way to mother without exploring other possibilities that may give great satisfaction to yourself and others.

I’ve been through all three questions, and I confirm it’s really a life-changing experience. For many years, I have sticked my identity with relationships and career. Then when these targets went wrong, I feel like I lost my identity. Until I learned that both relationship and career are just the way I define my capability, and it gets me anxious all the time. Obviously, not people or career hold me back. It is low self-esteem that takes my confidence away. By challenging my identity, I find out the true “why”. Now I focus more on what I’m capable of, rather than let outer factors define myself.

Soo beautiful!! Every change brings new beginnings. Just like the world evolves. We as people need to be able to evolve. It helps to be patient with yourself. It starts with you! God is able to exceedingly great things when your open to letting God into your everyday life. He is love and has absolute mercy for anything one is going threw. He is full of grace and his arms are always open when you except him into your heart. He will be the reason you get threw everything. I pray this helps someone. Even one person!! In Jesus Mighty Name! Amen!

Let me tell you as a blind person: I completely agree with Christine. I’d like to see for one day or so, especially since I’ve been blind since birth and wanted to know what my family and friends look like. But being blind has some great advantages for me that I wouldn’t want to miss!

Actually, I underwent unexpected change you cited. I’ve had no idea what to do and how to do. Today, as usual, I watched Ted. For me, this video is the one that will change my life in a different way. I recieved invaluable things. I WILL keep in mind these lessons that I learned thanks to this video, changes change what I’m capable of, what I value and how I define myself. Thank you.

What a wonderful talk! I myself have faced what she termed as “Identity Paralysis”. At the time I thought it was a curse. But it was a blessing. BC of it I found my core desire behind my temporal desires that defined me. It reminded me of a book called the Dark Horse by Todd Rose where he talked about *Knowing Your Micro-Motives* —figure out what uniquely makes you tick!
But you can only find it out if you focus beyond what society deems worthy to be valued. If you find that the simple fact of styling your hair in a certain way or living in nature makes you tick, then you have to find a way to make a lifestyle that revolves around these personal elements. It can’t be just society’s pre made field : like I want to be a doctor.
There’s more to you than this.

I think the last question hit me the most, when I get anxious or frustrated trying to do something new, instead of thinking about myself as a failure, or just not being good enough, I should focus on what it is that actually brings me enjoyment in pursuing this.

Personally, in work I see changes as being about trust. Should risks be assessed and mitigated, stakeholders are engaged and result is well-defined, such changes has nothing to do with scary. Otherwise, scary is an essential feeling

Chnage means death and rebirth at the same time. When we change, we sacrifice our past patterns that no longer serves us and a rebirth takes place as new patterns emerge.
Change is hard. It takes pain, tremendous amount of pain. It drives us mad for a while but at the end we find ourselves.
