How to understand Changes

Change" is one of the word I often heard by many people, change for government, change for job, change of plans,change for partners and relationships and many other things that one person wish to change in a moment if possible. Change is a very complex and wide topic, and what I am going to emphasized is the reasons that hold people from changes. Well first some people find it hard to change simply because they think and believe they know what they're doing and they don't want other people tell them what to do, these are those what they called as closed minded individual. Second, is the fear of changes, stepping into unfamiliar ground can be very challenging, and not everyone enjoy challenges, the feeling of losing control of the things you used to is quite difficult to accept. And finally is contentment, it's the word that people find it hard to live and believe its existence and possibilities, some people who already find happiness and contentment with what they have and what they're doing on their life, won't accept changes no matter what you do.

In order to understand why changes seems hard and impossible, let me think and expressed the other side. We all know how hard is it to change our own thoughts and beliefs on certain things, so how much more on trying to change other people? Being open minded helps us to grasp the situation we are trying to change, since we are dealing with people whom we love and care, so it's very much important that we must learn to know the person in a more profound and deep manner, like putting ourselves into their shoes in order for us to understand why changes can't be difficult for them. Change is like looking yourself at the mirror, if you don't like what you see then do something. Change first, so there's greater possibility that others will do the same thing. If you want others to understand and accept your advice for a change, then try to figure it out to yourself, weigh it down and begin. No matter what kind of changes you want to happen it always begins in you. Always open you heart, not just your eyes and your mind for it gives limits. As one of the famous philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard said, "Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays."

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.   Thank you for reading my blog and always remember to smile and be happy for it's the best changes you give to yourself and to others.  May  God  Bless us all!

Opportunity is a gift

I don’t really believe in luck but I do believe in opportunity and chances that always happens everyday.  Although there are times, whenever I heard someone won a lottery or received a huge amount of money for unknown individual, that I would say they’re lucky people, well there are things that are meant to happens as what they I said as destiny.  Well I guess luck is a special kind of opportunity, a special gift given to few, but why? whatever reason it maybe that’s something I didn’t know, only God knows.

For me, everyday is an opportunity to begin and become the person we want to be in the future.   It’s a gift. Today, at this moment is our chance to succeed, but before reaching the top we all know that we must go through hardships, failures and difficulties, so opportunity is not something, smooth or brilliant or enchanting or not something that’s pleasing to our eyes or senses.  It’s something that’s made of scratch and all we have to do is to accept it, used it and make it to the most and in the end it will become a treasure that’s worth our life.

The Gift

When was the last time you gave and received a gift?  What’s the best gift you’ve ever gave and received?  One of my favorite quote from a well known author of the book “Living, loving and learning,” Leo Buscaglia, said “Your talents are God’s gift to you. What we make of our talents is our gift back to God.”  It’s the same with what I’d read from an article says, “Our life is a gift and how we live our life is our gift to God.”  We are all blessed with so many gifts from God, our health, work, family, friends and love ones, even our own problems. It is a special gift we often overlook because of the pain it brings.  We sometimes fail to recognize its importance in building our character and making us a better person.  Without the gift of troubles and failures we will be as fragile as butterfly and we won’t able to attain the cloud of success.

Every day is a gift, a chance and opportunity to love, care and shares our blessing to others.  One of our blessings is our talent; we tempt to keep it to ourselves and our ability to perform our job well, yet we sometimes choose to give less. Steve Prefontaine said “To give less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.  We’re always called to do and give the best thing that we have in order to live life to the fullest.

I hope you will enjoy my photos and thoughts about gift. Wish you have a great day!
