Change...You May Actually Like It.

Today at USAO I learned that change can be a good thing. This can either mean a change of lifestyle, attitude or even a change of wardrobe.
Three years ago I was a completely different person, needless to say, I have changed significantly. In fact, most of my friends from high school probably would not recognize me. I dress, act and simply look different. I came to the realization today, that becoming a different person is not always a bad thing.
Let’s not make it seem as though I have always been willing. I tend to get into my comfort zone and just want to stay there. It is just easier that way sometimes. How can we grow if we stay in the same place all the time? You can’t, that is the answer.
One of the most important things that has happened in my life is having a child. Let’s just say she was a surprise. I did not want to have children until I got out of school. Sometimes we don’t make those decisions and we have to be willing to change our minds. I decided that I was going to have a good attitude and love being a mother. In part this has been the best thing that has happened in my life.
“Just do it” the famous Nike motto is a great motto, even if it is for shoes. It can mean just doing things that we may not normally do. You may surprise yourself and actually like it. So when it comes to change, don’t hide from it, “Just do it.”
