Change is no longer a distant possibility — it’s here, crashing toward us like an unstoppable wave. Resistance only drains us. The real challenge is learning to ride it. Pain will accompany this shift, but rather than being an enemy, it is the fire that refines us, pushing us toward deeper authenticity and strength.
. . .
You can resist all you want, but the wave is already upon us. Radical change defines our time, and learning how to surf it is our only choice. Try to duck-dive through it, and you’ll only exhaust yourself. Pain is inevitable — a constant companion and impartial teacher. Like love, it demands that we pay attention, challenging us to grow in both mind and body.
But don’t believe the commercial promises of relief. Don’t let them sell you the illusion of escape, and never simply “ask your doctor,” because what they’re pushing solves nothing. This pain isn’t a mistake; it’s been invited. It’s here to shake loose the stagnant, the stale, and the false. Without pain, without change, we wither, hastening our own decline.
As we collectively navigate this profound transition — this housecleaning of the soul of the world, this stripping down to the core — we are being called to a new level of self-awareness and deeper self-respect. The old ways of tolerating nonsense, settling for less, and endlessly compromising will no longer suffice.
So, turn the page and keep writing the new story, inside and out. Expect chaos. Let it terrify you — and invigorate you. The fire cannot harm what is real, what is authentic, or what is truly alive.
