Change: It Starts With Me

           Every time we are discontent we do not blame ourselves but blame our school, our teachers, our location, family or friends, or the circumstances we’re in. We attempt to change our school or the place where we reside. Only when it does not succeed in giving us a more wonderful life do we recognize that something inside us needs to be changed.

           Before we change other people’s lives, we must begin it first to ourselves. In every experience we take, there’s always a lesson that we can learn from it. And these lessons are the things that convince us to make a change to ourselves. Before we criticize other people, we must look at ourselves first, because you don’t know, maybe you have the worst. When we change, we change for the better. And when we did that, people will like you more.

           Perhaps it would be worthy to contemplate on this quote: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change”. Keep growing, keep learning, and keep advancing. Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights. It is possible to change the way we think, live, and how organizations function. We just need to embrace change. After all, the bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.
