Change Happens.
I just want to post a little blurb from a Facebook note that I wrote earlier in the day.
Well, not earlier. I just posted it about 15 minutes ago.
To me, it has a wonderfully powerful message, but then again, I wrote it. So naturally I'll think it's powerful.
Enjoy it. : )
Peace easy, friends.
There is a reason, past or present, why people are in my live. Each person, I feel, serves a different purpose in my life, whether they seem similar or not. I'd like to think that I'm simply a guest on the ride of life, and to be included in your life, to me, is a great honor. You could very easily shut me out, want nothing to do with me. Instead, you talk to me, enjoy our company, and leave making plans to do it all over again. I love it. Every second.
That does go, however, without saying that we all change as we evolve as humans. No one is expected to stay the same, forever. As we gain knowledge on this ride, that knowledge evolves us, and makes us realize things that before, were outside our realm. Some people hate that, and think they're afraid of change. I, on the other hand, am now in the state where I want to embrace it. I was once told by a friend, Hampton Dixon, to embrace change and change accordingly. I didn't know what he meant at first, and now I realize, all along, what he means.
As we traverse life, keeping true to your morals, your beliefs, and your core personality as a whole is key. I think it's important to remember where you come from, what makes you who you are, and above all else, what makes you unique in the massive mob of people. In other words, when talking about you specifically, you should always keep true to yourself, and not mold yourself to fit some persona that isn't you. That doesn't mean to never change, though. As stated, when you gain knowledge you should apply it to your life, and pass that on. If that means changing things about yourself, that means change things about yourself. But don't do it because you've got a mob around you telling you to. It may be important, but it's even more important for you to want that change.
I've learned in 21 years and 6 months alive on this planet that as I evolve, I will change. And you know, that is perfectly OK. It's suppose to happen. If 21-year old Alfred was the same as 18-year old Alfred, there is no way my dad would've moved 3000 miles away, got married, and tell me consistently that I'm doing alright. I've changed, because I've wanted to. And I think, if warranted, you should as well.
Oh, and I should mention....
Happy Independence Day, Americans!
Go out and celebrate.
Have a great time.
