Making Necessary Adjustments

The act of accepting change.

19
Making Necessary Adjustments
Neil Robertson

Yes, we all are aware/agree that change is a bothersome thing to endure, this is why not many people are too keen on the idea of changing their views to conform to others. Many would suggest that an alter in everyday routine thinking could be regarded as burdensome, aggravating, and difficult.

I propose for this perception to be refined.

Reality: Adjusting your views on just one concept will allow you to consciously draw to otherwise unlikely conclusions on other concepts.

Not understanding something an individual does should not rub shoulders with not agreeing with whatever that "something" may be. When you don't understand an action committed I advise you to try and "place yourself in the other persons shoes" to get a better understanding before concluding that you do not agree.

For the longest time I could not wrap my head around why some individuals don't follow simple directions, whether they be directions from a teacher, parent, or peer. Then I realized that people interpret commands differently than others.

Oh wow! What a revelation! (complete sarcasm) I know, this thought should have occurred to me sooner, but for some reason it decided not to be thought of.

This is when I realized my views on mankind need to be altered. It's not fair for me to rule some people out of my life because I failed to see things through their eyes.

If we're going to make this world into a healthier place to live in, then I suggest we slip into the shoes of those we do not understand, concluded our thoughts fairly, accept change, be kind to each other, humble ourselves, and live for the advantage of others (not to tear down but to rebuild the self worth of those we encounter daily).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
