Ch...Ch...Ch...Ch... Change
Changes. I was thinking of how hectic the past month has been. But has it been any more nutz than the month before or the month to come? Life is (can be) a very busy affair. I think back on a few years ago and then wander even further back into the dust bins of old mental photographs. Life was just as full, just as busy so what happened? What changed? Does life really change or do we change? There have always been wars & peace, feast and famine, rain & sun.... you get the drift.
I am starting to believe that life really does not change all that much. We are worried new technology will displace workers, replace "computer driven assembly line" with "steam driven machine" and you have the same concern of 100 years ago. Replace "concerns over flu vaccine shortage" & ""increasing AIDS epidemic" with " plague kills half of city population" and it could be 500 years ago.
Man gets up in the morning with concerns of shelter, safety and feeding his family, pick a point in time between yesterday and Adam and this holds true. No, I fear life does not change, just our ability to cope, adapt, learn, and grow. At first there was a sadness in the realization of this, perhaps no hope for life to change for "a better tomorrow."
But then a light dawned (at first I thought it was just indigestion from Taco bell that I had for dinner.) If life does not change, then it is we who change. And if this holds true, then we are not powerless. Life is not this behometh of a steamroller. We have all the power and all the control with God guiding us. Fate does not control you, it only changes the road map. You alone make the decision of which path to travel, to follow or not to follow. Some people are handed an overwelming bucket of misfortune and yet they rise to stratospheric heights of success and personal accomplishment. While others are given "life" on a silver platter and end up in a cardboard box. Personal choice, personal actions, personal responsibility.
If life is hectic, make changes to "slow it down". If life is sad, focus more on the beauty and positive things that surround us. If life is good, enjoy it, do more of it & spread it around.
If you want a better tomorrow, GO OUT & MAKE ONE!!Life does not change, we do. Make a choice as to how you will change.
