Understanding The Concept Of Change

You cannot move forward in life without change, so stop giving it a negative connotation.

The plot of your story cannot continue without change. Courtney Pepperell said "you can't skip chapters, you have to read every line and meet every character. You won't enjoy all of it. Some chapters will make you cry for weeks.

You will read things you don't want to read. you will have moments when you don't want pages to end. But no matter what you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving, so live yours and don't miss out".

A humans life is like a storybook because your life has a plot, different settings, main and supporting characters, themes, and most of all change. But understanding the concept of change can be difficult, especially when it comes to people.

It is important to understand that change is inevitable. You can't move onto the next chapter without some sort of change, spiritually, mentally, or physically, otherwise, you are just turning pages without an end.

People changing is a normal thing, so stop treating others as if they aren't supposed to change. To get from chapter one to chapter eighty-nine of a book, you have to turn or change the page. If you don't change the page you will remain STUCK on the same page.

People change for themselves not others, but circumstances influence that change. The change occurs because their mind has been opened and they have released things that no longer benefits them.

When a person changes their mind or perspective on something it is not your job to change it back. Your mind is supposed to change; the evolving of the mind is inevitable. People are under no obligation to be the same person they were a year, month, day, or even five minutes ago.

You have the right to grow. You do not have to showcase the same behavior or attitude in order to still be you. You are whoever you want to be. Whether you were a cowboy yesterday and a mermaid today does not matter. You are allowed to try on different you's until you find the one that fits.

We as a society need to stop giving change a negative connotation. Change is what keeps that world running. Without change, America wouldn't be America, we wouldn't have the technology that we have today. Change is a very very good thing and I wouldn't be able to proudly look into the mirror without it. Yell it with me, CHANGE IS GOOD!!

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.
