The constant change of change

Alvin Toffler: "Change is not merely necessary to life - it is life."

Maya Angelou: If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."

If I didn't welcome change, I would be a lifer in the state hospital or I would be smoking, doing drugs and drinking. Those changes were made for my outside.
I stood in front of a mirror and said I can change and be happy and content. I am.

Some changes were subtle. Like I how found love. Margaret gave her love to me. I had never felt love until I met her. She's my soul mate.

Another change that surpised me was my compassion and empathy for others. I have never felt so good about extending a hand. I believe everyone is worthy of kindness, caring and support. People helping people.

Instead of me being a taker I became a giver.

I embrace change. I bring it to my heart, soul and body. I look for change. I am a work in progress. Will I ever stop changing? NOPE!

Some changes come slowly. The way I deal with my voices is going thru a major overhaul. I started that last year. It's about time! It took me 45 years to get off my butt and do something to counteract the voices.

Change will always be a part of me.

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,

Dave

  1. That quote by Maya Angelou is my favorite. Changing my attitude is what I need to work on.
