"Change is the only constant thing", so we hear. But how true is that? To what extent are we willing to accept change? What do we do when change comes knocking? Do we open up and embrace it or we just run away from it?
Hmmmn "CHANGE"!!!!
It comes in different areas, forms, shapes, styles and sizes. It could be a change of environment, job, dieting/eating patterns, style/looks, habits, way of living, friends(boyfriend/girlfriend inclusive), attitude towards things...and the list goes on and on.
Hmmmn "CHANGE"!!!!
It could be really hard for us to embrace change, especially when we are already used to something, someone or somewhere. Sometimes, we even crave for change but when the opportunity comes for the occurrence, we develop cold feet and find it hard to leave our comfort zone, forgetting the fact that the CHANGE will bring about a better comfort. The truth is that, most times, that change is what we really need and it is the solution to a problem or situation, even though we may not see it that way.
Hmmmn, "CHANGE"!!!
Funny enough, sometimes, we change when we don't actually need to, based on things happening around us, things in vogue or peer pressure. We just decide to change because everyone else is changing, thereby losing ourselves, throwing away who we really are. Remember, "A" and "B" ARE DOING IT LIKE THIS DOESNT MEAN "C" HAS TO DO IT SAME WAY".
Hmmmn, "CHANGE"!!!!
Change can be positive or negative. POSITIVE when it is ACTUALLY needed, and when embraced, it could turn our lives around for the better. And it can also be NEGATIVE in a case where it is detrimental to us, physically, emotionally, psychologically or spiritually.
Whichever category we find ourselves in, change is something that will definitely come our way. If we search ourselves deep down without being sentimental, we'll see there are one or two things that actually has to be changed. It takes acknowledging the fact that you need change, determination to change and zeal to pursue the change to make things work.
Hmmmn, "CHANGE"!!!!
Is there a bad habit you've been struggling with?
A frustrating job you have?
Someone that has really been hurting you but you think you can't do without?
Are you still harboring hatred/malice in your heart?
Have you lost your self respect in the bid to go with the crowd?
Have you held on for so long to a primitive lifestyle because you are afraid of change?........ Brace yourself, take the bold step of courage, because it's time to let go, it's time to move on and it's time to embrace change.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Leo Tolstoy said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."
Barrack Obama said, "Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
kip smiln' is saying, "He who rejects CHANGE is the architect of decay". Embrace the necessary CHANGE today and start experiencing a new LIFE.
PRAYER: GOD grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
