Why We Need To Accept Change

Change is inevitable. All throughout our lives we are bound to change. ​If we didn't where would that leave us?

Why We Need To Accept Change
www.daffneecohen.com

If you opened this thinking this was some sort of politically aimed article, let me stop you now. This has no hidden meaning or hidden agenda. This is simply a statement on why we have to get used to the concept of change. It's happening and it's about time we not only get used to it but that we start accepting it for what it is at face value.

When things are good and great we wish we could freeze time. We desire more than anything to pause in that moment. It is so great and almost perfect that we don't want to miss out on it. We don't welcome change. We push it out and try to ignore the whole idea it. We don't have the mindset that there could quite possibly be something better around the corner.

Change doesn't always directly correlate with negativity or destruction. Change just means that things will be different, they will not stay the same. We HAVE to change. Without change we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are as a nation. I have no intention of being redundant or cliche but we wouldn't have cellphones, computers, TV's, cars, A/C, etc. Most importantly the opportunities that we have would be completely out of the question. If you brought up a college education people would laugh in your face. My job as a writer wouldn't be nearly as incredible. I would only be able to reach who I knew in my direct circle of people and that would only be if they could read. I don't mean to flashback that far but I want you to grasp the idea that the world is changing and we need to change with it. I also want you to have faith in the fact that change is good.

There is certainly a part of you that is already prepared for these ideas.When things go wrong, go awry or aren't what you expect you want them to be different. You want and sometimes even beg for change. This right here is your hope. Part of you is already ready change. For most of us it is just a matter of switching and some slight convincing of our brain to feel the same way when things are good. Good things have full capability of changing into bigger and better things.

In short, it is essential in this time and age to be open to change. Being shut off from this concept can so greatly hinder us. As I stated before there are so many incredible opportunities and chances to grow if we accept change. All I'm saying is it wouldn't hurt is to step out of our comfort zone every once in a while. If we open up our eyes just a tad more the world might show us somethings we never thought possible and who wouldn't want that?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
