Change

Change is one of those things in life we essentially have no control over.  It’s gonna happen, whether we like it or not.  People change, grow and lose their marbles at alarming rates and we are powerless to stop it.  We all know the quote from the famous ogre Shrek “Change is good Donkey”, that being said I think one of the most important, life lessony aspects of change is fear.  People ultimately put off doing what is right for themselves because with the thought of change comes that underlying fear about making the wrong decision or taking the wrong steps and not being able to go back or in some cases worrying about how that change will affect others.  I have a friend right now who has made a huge, life altering decision to look fear in the face and finally put herself first, however uncomfortable or upsetting it may be for other people.  She is one courageous lady and in spite of how hard the last few months have been for her I admire how positive she has remained.  You go girl!
