We know what we are, but know not who we may be.: Change

Change is a funny thing, most people are deathly afraid of change because we like things we know and don't want to have to get used to something new. Also, people are afraid of change because of what it means to change even if for the better. It's not easy to change or change the way things are it's a bit of a risk and it takes a lot of work. What makes it funny is that majority of people focus on trying to change the past which is the one thing that is impossible to change and they don't do anything to change the present or the future, the two things that they actually can change. And then they focus more on other people's actions which they can't change instead of focusing on changing their own. But I, like many people am at fault for this. I understand that it is a wrong way of thinking but it's just so hard to change.... I am currently in the process of changing my life... It's without a doubt the most difficult thing I have ever tried to do. It's a slow process that I'm trying to take one step at a time. I'm currently trying to learn that I CAN change, that it IS possible. I have to learn that I cannot change the past and what has happened. I can only change the way it effects me and the way I respond to it, and learn from it instead of letting it torture me every single day. Change is not easy but once complete it can be an amazing accomplishment.

One of the difficult things about change is that once you decide to take the necessary steps to change you become so focused in your goals that you sometimes tend to forget about the people that you love the most and how your decisions also affect them... There are so many fine lines but life is just about finding the right combinations and making it all work out even if sometimes by trial and error...
