Change is good. Most people agree its great to change. We change Presidents every four years, we eat different foods and watch different shows but when it comes to change in yourself it seems everyone is a naysayer. I have recently embarked on a path that is changing me daily to become a better person. I am quite happy with my progress this far but realize there is a long way to go.
The frustrating thing to me though is when folks say “you’ll never change,” “you are who you are,” and worse “you can’t change.” Its not only demoralizing to me its harmful to that person. Let’s face it, we all need to change something and change is not easy when it comes to oneself. By saying to others they can’t change its easier to accept the stagnation within.
I have recently learned from hearing that one too many times to use it as motivation to make huge changes. I am not the same person I was last week. I am not the same person I was this morning. In fact, I have changed in the last hour but one thing I know I am is a person ever changing for the better!
