In my own life, quite recently, I experienced an example of change. I experienced how quickly life can turn upside down, with no apparent warning. There is no rhyme or reason to the rhythm of life. The faster one realizes that one is simply a passenger on the randomly venturing ship of life, the more peace one will find.
The important thing to realize is this. Change happens quickly. There are two ways to look at this. You can look at it and say "Change happens quickly, without any of my input. No matter what I say or do, change will happen." Or, you can look at it and say "I want to guide the change."
Take control of the rudder of your life. You cannot stop change from happening, for it is the very nature of the world. Stationary is not in the vocabulary of Mother Earth.
In order to make any positive impact on the world, the most important thing to do is to embrace change and work. Work to make the change positive, no matter what it may be.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right. --Henry Ford
That’s a great way of looking at it. Change does happen quickly and seems to change faster the older we get. I totally agree though, we have to make the most of change in order to make a positive impact on the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ali :)
DeleteAimee, your mind is like... poetic heaven. This is really beautiful and I be reblogging you. :o)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your post really made my day. Things have been rough and you made me smile. All of your posts have been really insightful and it's obvious that you've spent a great deal of time thinking about what you're going to write.
I really hope that even after our Ishmael blogs are finished, you will continue blogging (maybe a personal blog?) because I love to read all of the things that you write.
P.S. Your about me section mentions that you are a research student looking into domestic abuse. I don't know if you know this, but that "About Me" section shows up on all of your blogs. :o)
Thanks! For both the compliment and pointing out the about me thing. That's for my English blog. Oops! I'll think about making another blog for just me after the assignment ends :)
DeleteI really hope you do. I like reading your blogs :o)
DeleteIt's so short, sweet, and true.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing in life that is for sure is change :)
I really like this Aimee.
So many people waste energy by wishing or trying to stop changes.
