Change, change, change!!! Some people claim to be suffering and say they want to change. Yet, their actions suggest otherwise. So, those who are thinking of change should begin by asking themselves, "Do I really want to change?" or 'Do I really need to change?". You want it or you need it? Do you really want to make those changes or are you trying to become someone you are not?
Yes I 'need' to change BUT only if I 'want'' to be better cause I myself is responsible for my happiness. Not my parents, friends or someone else. It means, I accept responsibility by stop blaming the world for my suffering. So, I stop looking for excuses and start looking for solutions. I need to study harder so I can pass the exams. I need to control my anger so that nobody is going to get hurt. That is, I have to change my thoughts, beliefs, and view so that I'll be able to move forward. Sure, there are times when doing this thing is necessary-so I choose to change!
But on some deep level, we are who we are. "What was wrong with the old me?". I've spent a lifetime becoming who I am. First off, I'm unique- no one in this world like me. So, why change?Perhaps I've got nothing in particular to offer the world. Maybe I don't feel unique, I feel anonymous. Then there might be thousands of reasons why I should change. Otherwise, just be me. Let other people be their own unique people. And I just concentrate on being myself. God has created one very special person. Its me!
In other words, I can always seek to be a better person because I have to but I should not change and transform to be someone else in order to impress or prove to someone that 'this is a new me'. No need! Perhaps I can start doing things I love to do instead of trying to shoehorn myself into someone else's box. I'll not fit me.
