Change:
It Starts With Me
Change. It is the only thing that is
permanent in this world. Everything changes as time passes by. Even a second
can have a thousand changes that would change next days or even weeks. A lot of
us are saying that it is difficult to change. But, what we do not know is that
we do it all the time. We change clothes, change FaceBook profile pictures, and
change minds.
Me, I do not want to change, but what
I do not know is that I am gradually changing, bit by bit. Why? It’s because
the world is forcing me to. One example is that when I was young, I thought
that all things are plain happy and that there is no such thing as pain. But,
it took time before I realized that that thinking is very foolish. I realized
that almost all things that you work hard for result into pain. Like losing in
a close basketball game, not getting high in your quizzes, and most of all,
knowing that your heart broke again.
But, eventually these pains would be
the catalyst for the person to change. He would be wiser and stronger just in
case the same pain would come again.
But, as I grew, I realized that the
change must have started with something. It all started when I thought that the
world is a paradise. Then, things changed. So, to paraphrase the idea, the
change that had a great impact on my personality all started by myself.
Oh, yeah. Change starts with you . . .
