Changing

A lot of people would say changing themselves is really difficult. They would say stuff like they are old enough to do so; they are who they are and it's best to keep it that way; they believe that you just can't change who you really are; they say they are comfortable being who they are in the present; they say that you're just fooling yourself if you try to be something that you are not; etc. With these reasons they then opt to not change. Honestly, I find this attitude really sad. These are the attitudes that just make our world a mess. Ok, I would understand if the change is for bad. Of course, changing for bad is against every person’s nature of being good and since it would just provide something bad, no one likes that and definitely we should not change for that. But in changing for good or for ones betterment, I think that is just not the right attitude. This is understandable... Yes, of course it is. It's understandable to have that kind of attitude about changing for good sometimes but only at first when we haven't thought of it deep enough. In changing, at first, you'll feel that stubborn feeling but not because you are trying to be someone you are not. It also doesn't mean you can't change that attitude 'coz that's what you are and you just can't change what you are. The reason for this is that you just got used to that trait and consciously or unconsciously, you've let it grow in you, and eventually you get to be satisfied with it thus letting it go becomes seemingly hard. Yes, it just seems hard. It's really easy if we just think deep enough and right enough about it. If you'll ask me, I do have my own way but I think it doesn't work for everybody. But basically it's simply about weighing all the necessary things, knowing what hinders you, thinking far, and thinking with God in mind. Changing is great and I think it's one of the best things we can do with our God-given-privilege of having free will. I believe we should make the most of it. It is just a matter of choice. Let's choose to make this world a better place to be. Let's have a passion in changing for our betterment and let's make Him smile.
