Change is the only Consistent thing in the world

In this world, everything is constantly changing. The season changes from summer to spring. The month will change from August to September. The weather will change from sunny to rainy. Even as of this moment, your body is changing, your becoming hungrier and thinking when you're going to eat next(I might get some food after posting this). Basically everything in this world changes. It's the only consistent thing in the world. The phrase "people change" is true for every person in this planet. We may change physically, or we may change mentally and emotionally. We may change for the worse, or we may change for the better. We are not the same person compared to who we were a year ago, a month ago, a week ago or even who we were yesterday. There was a time where I myself didn't want to change though. I wanted to stay the same because I was comfortable with it. But it hurt me that I stayed the same, because I was not changing to grow. I wanted to stay the same in these ways:

  • I wanted to stay a bum, sitting at home watching Netflix a day doing nothing. Now I'm starting to change by being productive and starting my writing and entrepreneurship career.
  • I wanted to stay a passenger, not learning how to drive because I was too afraid. I enrolled in a driving school some time ago, I also learned how to drive from family members. Now I'm going to practice since I already know the basics and I will need to learn how to drive on the highway soon.
  • I wanted to keep letting my mom cook all my meals for me or if not to eat out. Now I'm starting to want to learn how to cook myself and I will ask my mom to teach me and I will also teach myself how to cook.
These are just some of the things I'm starting to change as of the moment. Some major changes will definitely happen in my life in the following years. I may or may not be ready for them, but I will have to accept them, since these will change me for the better and help me grow. Change may be uncomfortable and hard at first, but it is necessary for us humans to grow and mature, for us to become better ourselves.
