Walk With Changes
When faced with changes, do you roll with punches, or are you quick to throw in the towel? Father Gene reminds us that in life, we don’t know the answers ahead of time. That is, life doesn’t always go according to plan. Things happen and we must adapt, using our beliefs, our gut reactions, and more to navigate unplanned changes to life. How do we adapt to change? Father Gene suggests that we try walking with change instead of resisting change. Much like the phrase, “Walk before you run,” to walk with change is to allow yourself to be open to change a little bit at a time.
We all want to be independent, but nobody is meant to do everything alone. Father Gene explores why asking for help can feel so difficult, the importance of trusted friends, and the unexpected gifts waiting when we reach out.
How much of yourself are you willing to give up just to fit in? Father Gene explores the tension between belonging and staying true to your values, and why protecting your integrity sometimes means risking your status, friendships, or approval.
