change

we embrace it, we dread it, we live it we love it. but there is always certain discomfort in change. take a diet plan, always a hustle trying to use more fibre and less saturated fat or get used to that you are very much more responsible for your actions than you were when you carefree. you see the true essence of change means not being able to do wrong and let it go. it means being remorseful, it means humbling yourself. it means being more honest, truthful and means being able to make boundaries where they are needed. who then truly embraces change? knowing change means out with the old in with the new, makes us too skeptical to move forward because of the fear of the unknown. my main challenge this week is to be able to stand my ground, let the things people say about you go, forgive people, pray for patience and give it your all. change is a recipe for a good life change creates new opportunities because one's mindset is at a different place now. now for us to understand our changes in life let us be able to comprehend that life does not mean doing what you please but in actual fact life means being able to sacrifice your wants for someone else's needs. for this to happen, we need change. when you change your clothes after every shower you do not dread it, you do not wonder why you have to change, you do not wish to stay in the stale clothes because you know it is wrong. why then can you not embrace change of attitude in the same way?change puts you on the spot almost exposes you, but would't you want all the stale things you have done to be put out and aired and give you a chance to start afresh? ahhh...perhaps not. but you can almost imagine how beautiful it would be to just change for the better. when you get to a point where you do not judge people but treat them with love, where you love people enough to pray for their well being despite their nasty comments and most importantly change and give other people a second chance. i'm not saying let them trample all over you. but would it not be a merry day to see them changing? a line i hear a lot in relationships, "Are you trying to change me?" hmmm...are you?think about it.
