IT'S OKAY TO CHANGE
IT'S OKAY TO CHANGE
It has almost become a cliché to say the only thing constant in life is change. But it's true. Seasons change. Things change. People change. But change is never easy and doesn't come without a prize. And sometimes the consequence of change is that we have to let go of some beliefs we once had or walk away from relationships that are no longer helpful.
But whichever way, change is never without a prize. And because society at large is uncomfortable with change, people find it hard to change when they have to.
The criticism that accompanies change can sometimes feel unbearable so people just try to avoid the stigma and continue to stay in line with what the general society expects of them.
But if you will ever achieve what's possible for you then one of the first principles you need to adopt is breaking out of the norm; Learning to chart your course and learning to think for yourself.
The hard truth is, no one ever achieved greatness by aligning with society. So the earlier you learn to chart your course, the earlier you'll set yourself on the right path.
At different points in our lives we change or readjust to certain decisions we made earlier on. Its okay to make realignments as you gain new levels of information and your perspective changes.
On the flip side, learn to accommodate change. When people around you no longer feel comfortable with the decisions they made earlier on in life and they want to switch or make amendments, don't make them feel bad or view them as "liars" or "unreliable". People change. Its a constant. Get used to it.
