The Possibility of Change

September 15, 2016 Leave a comment


“We can’t be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don’t have something better.” 
― C. JoyBell C.

Change is a part of life, but accepting it can be very difficult, depending on how serious the change is.

I believe the quote above states change very well. People do tend to feel safe in their lives as they currently are, thus not welcoming change.

Looking at change as negative instead of viewing the positive aspects can lead a person to never change. If changes aren’t made, people don’t have the opportunity to grow in life.

In some cases, change doesn’t just involve one person, it involves many people. When several are involved, there are varying opinions shared,  which may lead to people coming together or people may divide and nothing is accomplished except maybe anger towards those once considered as friends.

I find the following quote comforting in trying times. If I am worried about anything, I remember this and I feel better. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and enjoys the weekend too.

Take Care!

Faith is not about everything turning out okay, faith is about being okay no matter how things turn out. ~Author Unknown
