You can’t change the past but you can grow from it. I’m taking it upon myself to grow from things I’ve gone through, and things I have done to others. I tend to live in the past where nothing changes and everything stays the same. It just doesn’t work because people grow up and they change. No one stays the same no matter how much they want to it just doesn’t happen. There has to be change in our lives. It’s the only way to adapt and continue to live the very short lives we have.
I’ve heard so many times that life is so short get out there and live life. I was standing in line the other day buying something at target, and this older lady was in front of me with a ton of items for St. Patrick’s Day. I looked at the items and got a chuckle from them and she looked at me and said “They are for a friend”.
I replied to her “Sure…” she then said, “Life’s to short. You have to have some fun in life.” I hope she has a great time with all those things she bought. I need to take from this to have some fun but not too much.
If you spend too much time in the past you never will move forward. Walt Disney use to say “Keep moving forward…” He believed in a constant state of change. With out change things will always stay the same and nothing will get better. Its hard for me to change but on the other hand its hard cause I have never really tried to hard to change. But I believe now it is the only choice available at this time. I need to change and I need to do it A.S.A.P.
People are here and put into our lives for a reason. We learn to be better people, and change in many ways. Sometimes this is for the better sometimes its not. Things never stay the same. Some people are in our lives for a lifetime and some are just passing by. No matter how hard you try to hold onto the past it won’t help look towards tomorrow and soon you might meet another person you can learn much more from. I can no longer wait here and hope things will go back to the way they were. I can however look back at all the great times I had and also the bad times and grow from it.
The time for change is now! I must leave the past where it is and live in the now. Life’s to short its time to start living.
Thank you to all the people that have been in my life thus far.
