Change

Unfortunately some people believe  that change starts by trying to change others, but the truth is change starts with you. I can't change anyone, but I can change myself. I have heard people say that people can't change, that they are stuck the way they are, but if that was true... Well, it would be a bad thing, we do have traits that we can't change. We have to be willing to step out of the crowd to be different and yes it may make us stand out, but isn't it time to make those changes in ourselves? Isn't it time that we look at ourselves instead of looking at our spouses or whomever and start looking at ourselves?

The time has come that we stop pointing fingers and start saying what in me can I change. Change will come and be complete if we are willing to let go of the way we once were.

I can lead you to the water, but I can't make you drink of it, I can't make you look at yourself, but have you been able to change anyone around you? If you answer No to that, then you must realize that change can't be forced on someone, but you can chose to change yourself.

It isn't just about change, it is about love, forgiveness, happiness, joy, peace and so much more. It starts with you. We seem to think someone else can provide it all, but the truth is that no one can bring that to you. It is once you except it that change will start happening, but you have to be willing to surrender and surrendering costs, but I will cover that in another blog.
