How Accepting Responsibility and Facing Change Leads to Inner Growth

There are many things that can be said when it comes to change. I’d like to focus on the importance of taking responsibility, acknowledging when necessary, accepting the things that cannot be changed, and making sure we don’t avoid the need for change. Let’s take a moment together to discuss, “Change what you can.”

Let’s face it—when it comes to the topic of change, it can sometimes feel like we’re in a constant state of it. For me, I often have to make a real effort not to complain as I go through various changes. But once you decide to accept the changes, you can begin to walk through them more peacefully.

Sometimes, change comes because it’s time to take responsibility for its necessity. Denying the need for change won’t help you or your circumstances. Maybe you saw the need for it but were uncertain about how to make the changes. Like it or not, it’s in those moments when we not only have to move forward—we might actually be forced to.

We must understand that change requires not only responsibility, but also acknowledgment. Tell me honestly—have there been moments in your life when you felt the need for change and knew you had to do something about it? How you handle those moments will shape how well you grow and move forward into what’s next.

Let’s be real with each other—have you also had those difficult moments where you had to accept what you couldn’t change? It’s not that you couldn’t move into something new, but you had to admit there were just some things that were outside your control. And yes, many of those situations might have brought pain, discouragement, disrespect, or other heavy emotions. The key is not to remain in that perspective too long, or you might delay the much-needed change waiting ahead of you.

Lastly, I want to talk about how avoiding change can impact you. Just because you’re afraid of change doesn’t mean you should avoid it. As we recognize the need for change, we must also accept that some things have happened—or are happening—that create a need for it. If we can be honest with ourselves, we can begin to take responsibility in order to move forward. I know some changes are very difficult, but it’s those steps of faith that unlock deeper levels in our lives.

I feel like I’ve only touched the surface of this topic. I’d love to share more in the future, including some personal experiences. In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you:
How has change impacted your life? Did you recognize when it was needed? And how did you handle it?

There is always another way.
Keep pressing on and find it.
