CHANGE

Some may find it hard to accept CHANGE whether the command is from OTHERS, from YOU or from the CIRCUMSTANCE itself. So then, why do we need to change?

We change because of OTHERS. We might have failed to meet the expectations of other people. We change because it is dictated; requested and asked from us. This type of CHANGE is somewhat healthy because we are being helped to make the most out of US; because OTHER people believe that we can be better of OURSELVES and that they can see a potential for our FURTHER GROWTH. In some way, this type of CHANGE might not result from a good one because we are OBLIGED to do so. Just like an adolescent being asked to buy a bottle of vinegar at the nearest store while indulging on his/her favorite television show. This type of CHANGE can happen or not happen depending on the will of the individual.

Another type of CHANGE comes from a personal choice. It is YOU who desired for it; there is no pressure and that you willingly volunteered yourself to make a CHANGE. Why is this so? Some people desire to make a change because they find in themselves that they are not being suitable for a thing; or that they are not what they are suppose to be. This for me is good because it is a self-realization and that the person is capable of comprehending and assessing his/herself. When does this type of CHANGE go wrong? This type of CHANGE will lead an individual to a worst condition if the choice for CHANGE comes from a grudge from hate or from anger. People desire CHANGE because they fail on something and that they want to get BETTER of whom they were before. Most people fall from this type of CHANGE when they want to PROVE themselves to others or to something which once made them less capable.

The last type of CHANGE comes from CIRCUMSTANCES which we might encounter often or seldom. This type of CHANGE comes when a certain situation demands that you do what you should. This type of CHANGE does not come from OTHER people instead from SITUATIONS that we either can or cannot accept. Most of us want to indulge ourselves to something and yet we cannot because it does not FIT our system. Just like good apparel that we want to have yet, we cannot because our size does not fit the clothes itself. What do we do? It is either we go on a diet or we find another one that will fit our size.

Whatever CHANGE you want, we must put to mind that it should ALWAYS BE FOR THE GOOD of OTHERS and for the BETTERMENT of YOU as an INDIVIDUAL.

Let me ask you, what type of CHANGE will you take?
