Change is a pretty important theme in my life. I am always trying to improve. My strong desire for change started about 2 years ago. It is also about the time that I committed myself to writing and expressing my ideas. Sometimes we think something truly great and it slips away because we simply forget to dialogue it somewhere indelible. This is a piece I wrote when I first started down this path of betterment:
People can change...I have been thinking about this a lot lately. While I haven't lost all hope, it has certainly faded. Can change? Sure. Want change? Most likely. Strive for change? Unlikely.
Once a pattern of behavior is set the chances of change occurring are greatly diminished. Days, months, years even of acting in a certain fashion make change uneasy. We fall victim to our preposition to remain in the same state out of nothing more than familiarity. We be accustomed to simply existing in the same state.
Change may fell like rejection of self, denying the immediate wants for long term goals. Will to change is a must, combined with personal fortitude and constant critical effort to invoke said change. Change isn't impossible, rather it is improbable. The task is uncomfortable and leads to the unfamiliar. How do we escape the confines of comfort? When we venture into raw and uncharted territory, we place ourselves in a vulnerable state. our natural desire to protect ourself is a preventative measure that we must overcome. Change only arrives when one is weary of being at odds with them self and with the world the reside in.
Change is not only important, but necessary. Here's to hoping that I keep changing for the rest of my life!
