Are you the same person you were 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or even 5 years ago?

Are you still learning the same lessons, doing the same workouts, thinking the same thoughts, and being plagued by the same fears?

Or is it obvious to you and everyone else you are fundamentally different? Are you continuously on to bigger and better things?

If you go through experiences that challenge you to grow, why shrink back to who you once were? Life is meant to be informational. Human beings are intended to evolve and progress, not stagnate and wither.

It’s okay to change, even if that means things must be different. Actually, that’s part of the process.

Will people judge you for the changes you make? Absolutely.

Will people not understand why you’re doing what you’re doing? Most won’t get it.

Most people prefer same and safe. So when you change, you threaten the status-quo. You threaten how things “are.” If your change is real, you’ll attract a new social circle and new environment to reflect your evolving nature.

Things can never be how they once were, if the change you experienced is real.
