Sometimes a part of us must die before another part can come to life. Even though this is a   41   and necessary stage of our growth, it is often painful or   42   if we don’t realize what’s happening. In fact, confusion is often the   43   that tells us a change is taking place within us. These changes happen throughout the lives of all humans, as we move from babyhood to   44   to teenage years and beyond. With each change from one   45   to another, we find ourselves   46   goodbye to an old friend, the identity that we   47   in order to move through that particular time. Sometimes we shape these identities in relationships or jobs, and when we change, those areas of our life become   48  . Usually, if we take the time to look into the changing surface of things, we will find that a change is taking place   49   us. For example, we may go through one whole part of our lives creating a protective shell around ourselves   50   we need it in defense of ourselves. One day,   51  , we may find ourselves feeling limited and bored, wanting to move outside the  52   we used to need; the new part of ourselves cannot be born within the   53   of the shell our old self needed. We may feel a strange   54   of excitement and sadness as we say goodbye to a part of ourselves that is   55   and make way for a whole new identity to   56   in its place. We may find inspiration in working and studying when we think of the image of an animal who sheds (蜕皮) in order to   57   way for new skin, fur, or feathers to   58  . For example, keeping a piece of snake skin, or some other symbols of change, can   59   us that death and rebirth are simply nature’s way of growing. We can give in to this process, letting go of our past self with great love and gratitude, and   60   the new with an open mind and heart, ready for our next stage of life. 41.
