In Others’ Words: Making Changes

 

Some quotes you just can’t argue with. 

I could leave it at that and this would be a very short blog post, wouldn’t it?

Yep. Feeling a bit sassy today.

Expounding on the whole “making changes” theme:

People in my life can influence me so that I see the need to change.
People can inspire me by the changes they’ve made in their lives so that I want to do what they did and change, too.
People can even confront me and tell me I should change. Demand that I change.

But only I can change my life. It’s as simple, and as hard, as that.

Realizing that I’m responsible for the change in my life — or the lack of any change — is a sure sign of growing up, wouldn’t you agree? You can’t blame someone else for who you are, who you’re becoming, or what you do or don’t do. 

Now for me, because I’m on a faith journey with God, there’s also a spiritual element to this “only I can change my life” principle. Because sometimes … sometimes I tell God “I can’t” and He tells me “I know.” And His words are bathed in grace and love. And I’m reminded that some life changes — the best life changes — are miraculous.

In Your Words: What produces change in your life? What’s been one of the biggest changes in your life? Or even one of the smallest, but its had the most sweeping effect on you?
