Change Is Good, But It's Not Easy

Change Is Good, But It's Not Easy

As we grow older, we all change in some way. We grow taller, become smarter, and even our personalities change. But that's not what this article is about.

This article is about the changes within the changes. Now, you're probably asking, "What the heck does she mean by that?" So here it goes... in life there are things we can't control and there are things that change without us ever really realizing it until the change has already happened.

Let me elaborate: That person that used to be your best friend in the entire world, you now talk to once or twice a month. A relative passes away and you never really understood what life was going to be like without them until they are gone. That relationship that ended that you thought would last forever because you were convinced that the two of you could get through anything. A family member going through difficult times and having to do what they think is best for them, even if isn't what's best for the entire family.

The bottom line is this..people leave and things change, but life doesn't stop for anybody and we must learn to accept that. We must learn that change is inevitable and for personal growth, change is a necessity. Nobody ever reached their full potential stuck in their comfort zone and nobody can ever experience true joy in their life, if they never change. Is it easy? Absolutely not. Is it for the best? I always believe it is for the best and if it isn't for the best, things will go back to the way they originally were. We must learn to trust God and his path for us. If we do that we will never doubt change and will never doubt who we are and what we want from life.

So next time you have a big decision to make or are going through a new experience in life, embrace it and remember that change is good, but it's not easy.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
