You Don't Hate Change

 




"You don't hate change, You hate the way people try and make you change."

This quote was said at church on Sunday and it really got me thinking, it really isn't the change part is it? I hate change, thats what I've always said. I dread change before change happens. Except thats really not the case. Going to college was a change,  getting married was a change, having baby was a change. All three of those things were choices I made and I was beyond happy about those changes. So do I really hate change? 

The preacher went on to say how we are hating the COVID guidelines and mandates (just examples) but then he pointed out that while we hate those things we love the changes that we choose. Because its not the change we hate but how people make us change. The choices we don't make ourselves or even when they are negative in some way. Just like a demotion vs. a promotion. We love the change when its a promotion but hate change when its a demotion. We don't want to be made to change. 

It makes complete sense. This is something I had never really thought about and it's something that is beyond true. Change is gonna happen. We may fuss and moan and groan but its gonna happen. WE just don't want to be made to change.  SO let's shift our focus. Yeah there's those words again. Shift our focus to something more. Stop fighting the change and see what could come out of it. Change is gonna happen. Do we really want to grumble through it? Change is gonna happen but you get to decide your actions post change and you get to decide your attitude toward it. 

This world is changing so fast! If we stop grumbling and feeling sorry for ourselves, if we stop fighting it then perhaps we can change it for the better. Guide it to a positive change instead of a negative change. We are not going to fix anything if we grumble about it. Change is inevitable. Change is life. 

Nothing will change if nothing changes.

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...

Don't Give Them the Satisfaction

We all know what rejection feels like...no I don't mean getting turned from a guy or girl, I mean the rejection of being told you can't or maybe you won't be good at it, or anything else related those. So what I am about to tell you is super important....are you ready?? Don't give them the satisfaction! It's hard to keep going when you are told you can't do something or that you won't be good at something, but don't give the person the satisfaction of you quitting no matter what. Now, I'm not saying that every person who tells you that you won't be able to do something is meaning it in a cruel or malicious intent in mind, the person could just have your best interest in mind but still don't let them tell you what you have the ability to do. It's tough, trust me I know. When someone tells me I won't be good at something, will have a hard time with something, or that I just don't have the skills it hurts and it's hard to not gi...
