One day, by chance, the Fool remains in the woods all night. Gazing eastward at the perfect moment, he witnesses a magnificent sunrise. His inner voice says, “Time for a change.” Respecting his intuition, the Fool packs up and emerges into the larger world once again.
Once on his path again, the Fool begins to ponder Change itself. “Change is inevitable,” he muses, “yet, some people hate change, some accept change, and some embrace change.” The Fool gradually comes up with a theory about Change:
“Change is a given, but ATTITUDE toward change varies among people. How a person perceives a change…what he BELIEVES about a change becomes his reality. Therefore, if I see a situation as a threat, I react rapidly, either by fighting, fleeing or freezing. I get more simpleminded. I might look for someone powerful to protect me, or lash out even when there is no danger.”
“What if I saw a turn of events as a challenge or an opportunity?” he imagined. “How about seeing life as a series of learning experiences or seeing change as a fact of life?”
The Fool stopped short. “Wow!” he exclaimed. “I can experience a better life by simply deciding how I want to experience it!”
“Well,” he thought, “I’m a creative and open minded person. Surely, I can find good fortune, prosperity and abundance if I just look for it.” And so he did.
