The end of something is the beginning of new things

I think that sometimes you don't see the opportunity to change things and make things better. Half of your life is the things that happen to you, but you still have to react and make something out of your situations. That's a beautiful thing, that you can make decisions and grow, and it's not hard once you give yourself a little push! I found this out this year, I used to just mope around and wonder why my life was so terrible.

There is a joke "The last word of every fight is uttered by Wife. Any word after that by Husband is the beginning of another fight". Just to share. Even though a certain thing is over, another thing occures because your internal conflict is there always. Why don't you express everything at once and finish it once forever.

the title of your discussion really shoot deep right to my heart. it's the same thing happening to me right now, and after reading this, im more assure that leaving my comfort zone may not a bad thing at all. actually for the past years, i have finally living in my comfort zones, until this year, once again, i have to leave my comfort zone. at first, i thought that it's end of everything, i mean im the kind of person that hate changes, though i realise changes is the only thing that remain constant in this world. i have to move on, but it seems hard for me to move on. for finally, i can be going to the same school with my best friends for years, now i have to leave them, and worst of all, im not getting into any local university. so i have left with no choice but to go to the private uni. i have always been into local schools, so when i have to go to private uni which people always deemed that as second class or rejected uni, i feel damn depressed. but now, maybe it's not as worse as i thought it will be. school will be starting soon in october, and i am starting to assure myself that this will be a new beginning for me. maybe i will not be able to be the same school with my besties, doing all the crazy stuffs together like what we always did, and i have to start finding new friends, adjusting myself to the new environment. but hey, maybe this change is for the better, i may not know what surprises that may come along next. if you do not mind, would you like to share what is your comfort zone that is no longer comforting?

It is very true that the end of one thing is the the beginning of another. But there is no reason to force the issue and pack your bags and move out or whatever. Often when you are trying to 'escape' one situation you end up in another that is even worse! The best thing to do is to spend some quiet time with yourself every day and become clear in your own mind about what you would prefer. Get the feeling of it, talk about it to others, pretend you are already living it, act like the person you think you would be if you had it, etc. And take the time to notice the areas of your situation that you do appreciate! If you just did this for a few minutes every day you might be surprised at how things start changing without you having to DO anything! And when inspiration hits you then act on it!

my gosh, klaudine, lately your discussions are getting harder and harder to respond j/k you know, in both 'what to say' and 'how to say'. enlightening points! you are true that the end of something is always the beginning of a new thing. when i still studied in college, i use to help my elder brother running his newspaper agency, to get some extra money as i had to provide my study cost myself. in that time, i used to awake in the twilight . you know, between night and day, or night and morning. i used to witness the 'night people' (like the employees of the factory who get night shift, the owners or workers of the night eatery, or just some young guy who decided not to sleep in the night) come home with their tired and sleepy face, while the "day people" go to work neatly with bright face. the dusk is also the other twilight when we can see the proof of 'the end...is the beginning...." and "the end...is the beginning...." is the fact we have to eventually face and experience, despite the comfort zone where we don't want to leave from. to enjoy the comfort zone too much will end up we being stuck and going nowhere, as you said. sometimes we know the new situation we will face is much better and promising, but we stay in our current state as we are afraid to leave the comfort zone.

Letting go of that comfort zone is necessary for growth. Kind of like a child moving our of their parents house realizing that now all the responsibility is on them. It's the unknown and it's scary. I can't count the times I've started over. Leaving behind material things, emotional things, a good paying job, for one reason or the other it seemed better for all concerned for me to start over, so I took a deep breath and said I think I can, and I did. If your life isn't going where you want it to go, you have to have the courage to take that first step out of your comfort zone or you'll end up in a rut, dissatisfied with your life, yourself and everything you worked so hard to build. All those things that are your comfort zone will become a prison.

yeah.. i also believe that.. when you end something., you also have something new by ending the old one.. it seems the situations are connected,. just like.. when you repent from your sins., that means ending your evil ways., thus., making a new life with good things.. just be optimistic.. you can do.. if you just believe and put effort into it.. and., don't forget to ask for help from your friends., they will surely help you.. have a nice day.. ;)

nice topic. yeah the end of something is the beginning of new things and you have to sacrifice something in order to get something. we can't have it all, we cant be that selfish. do not be affraid of changes in every aspect of your life. let things happen to people especially to yourself :)

Remember this....When one door closes another one opens. Getting in a comfort zone deprives us of our dreams. If a mistake is made and you learn from it then it is worth it but if you repeat it or don't learn from the misake it is worthless. That's my enlightenment! LOL Good Luck!
