change.

I believe sometimes we all get a little too set in our ways, and we may not be open enough to change. With writing, sometimes you need a new approach, or a different way to go about things.. and life is the same.
Approaches. Usually when you make an approach, it’s something new, something significant or small, but either way, you’re making a change. How we make them, and how they’re received. These two factors can change everything. If you don’t go about things in the right way, or you jump to conclusions, the problem you may have been trying to sort out is only going to get bigger. Take your time, wait for what it is you’re trying to express to become clear in your mind before speaking out. Sit back and observe. The key word for all of this, is think. Wait it out, it pays in the end.
Doing something you never knew or thought you could, and doing it successfully, is so gratifying. How do you know what the right thing to do is? You don’t. You have to look inside your own soul and really search out the reasons for your endeavors. Why did you choose this path or make this decision? Only you may know, and if you don’t, but you do it anyway - you always knew it was the right choice in your heart.
Change is an amazing power that you possess. It is something that keeps life fresh and interesting, confusing and wonderful. Change is not something to be feared, but embraced. It doesn’t have to be a bad thing; great changes happen everyday. Don’t be afraid to try something new, adopt a new style or switch up your attitude from time to time.
Keep people guessing, predictability isn’t what we’re aiming for.
Just recently I had to choose my own path. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, or what I was getting into, but you do it anyways, because change is great, and being comfortable with change is what makes successful people.
Luckily, I have an on-going love affair with change.
Sometimes you’re anxious, sometimes you’re worried and wondering, “Is this really the best choice for me”? You play this game, back and forth, leaving yourself confused with what you really want. But not once do you do anything about it.
You know.
You know what you are doing was the beneficial route for yourself, the one you were always meant to take.
The thing is though, knowing you’re right doesn’t always make it any easier.
In fact, many times, doing the best and right thing is incredibly hard.
If it were easy, more people would be doing it.
In the end though, it pays off, and your heart was always the one that said “yes,” even as you may have told it “no.” That’s a good way to lead our lives, though. Do what your entire being thinks it should, and hope it’s what you really wanted. If its not, things can be easily mended and changed back,

no matter how difficult it may seem. Chances are, your ending is perfect, and now you’re off to a perfect beginning.
Being able to change and make a difference in your life that you've probably become comfortable in is a sign that you're very sure of yourself, and you know that no matter the outcome of your new endevour, you will still be the same person in the end. Many people are not okay with changes, big or small, and they become worried with the slightest mention of doing something differently than what they're used to. People can't seem to become comfortable with changing things up, and according to research, many times that's due to low self-esteem. People are so afraid of failure, and not liking the outcome, that they won't even take the chance and give change a try. But with hardwork and fevor, you really can work through these worries, and break down that taunting walls of fear so you can just go for it, and not worry because whatever new thing you've just done, may be undone just as easily.
It is possible to love change, you have to find the strength within yourself to be okay with the outcome, and then take that first step with class, grace, confidence and positivity. It's most likely so much easier than you may think it is. Don't be afraid to love change, and embrace a few mistakes here and there, because that's what makes us better human beings.

  1. I've made some huge changes the last couple years of my life. Changing from a job I have had for 30 years, same thing day in, day out. Everything was predictable. When I made the choice to change my life, I have to admit I was a little afraid of the unknown because I was so used to the same schedule for so many years. This change was an excellent choice...going to ASU to pursue a bachelor's degree. I haven't been in school for 15 years. There were times that I thought I couldn't do it, but I made the choice to follow through and it has been very rewarding. My life now is everything but predictable and I love it!! I never thought I would but I do love change!!
