Do I Need to Change?

I'm always so excited when I talk about change. I talked about it before. If you haven't read it, go read my previous post titled "Life is About Change". And now, I'm encouraged to talk about it again. So, here it goes.

Change. It is something very interesting to discuss. Change happens everywhere, everytime. You can see change around you, on your body, even inside you. One thing I learn about change: you can't always control it. So, when it happens, you must be ready whether you want it or not.

I hate change. That's the fact about me. I'm an introvert person. Introvert people do not like change. Once they feel comfortable with something, they never think to change it, even if that change may be for the better.

Sometimes I know it's better for me to change something, but I often refuse it. I always ask myself, "I'm happy where I am right now, why do I need to change? I love where I am today. I don't need change."

It sounds true for a while, but then I think again about it. It's not always right. It sounds naive. Sometimes you need that change even when everything "seems" okay for you not to change anything. You don't want change, and you want everything to remain the same, but sometimes change happens from the outside, maybe the circumstances or other people around you.

Okay, here the case. If you're not happy where you are now, you need change. However, if you're happy where you are now, second question is applied: "Can you guarantee it's gonna be forever?" The answer is more likely to be "No".

The truth is, you can't control everything in your life. If you're happy now and you can guarantee everything will always be great, that's fine. You don't need change. But the question is, who can guarantee everything will always be okay like now? Circumstances change. People change. Many things around you change. You must accept that you can't control that. All you have to do is to prepare, and sometimes the only way to prepare it is to change.

If you know that change is good for you and you know it's for the better, don't think twice, you should take it.

Maybe you ask, "Why do I need to change it now? I can change it later when I really need to change." I asked the same question to myself, then I think for a while and answer it to myself, "Will you be ready when that time really comes? Isn't it better for you to change it now? You can still have many choices, time, and things that may help you to change. If you wait for that time, you have no choice except to change, and that's not gonna be harder. Everything will press you and that change will be more challenging than change you can take today."

After all, it's always better to change it now than to wait for tomorrow when it's harder to do.

Love Languages

Valentine's day is coming soon, and it's the day of love. I think it's a great idea to share something related to love: Love Languages . Have you heard about it before? It's not my idea.

Change the Perspective

One of people who inspire me the most is Nick Vujicic . I believe many of you know about this man. If you don't, well, he's a man with no arms and no legs. Although he has this disability, he still lives his life to the fullest. He swims. He surfs. He married. He does whatever he wants. Even he inspires many people around the world with great stories about his amazing life. Isn't he really a huge inspiration? I'm sure you know what I'm gonna write here. Many things we can learn from him, like being thankful, enjoying life, creating your happiness, or living the life you want no matter what the circumstance is. But I want to talk about his great life from a little bit different thing. He inspired me in one thing when I read his book. If there's one thing I can learn from him, it's that you can't always change your problems, but you can always change the way you see it . You can't always change your problems, but you can always chang

You are what you eat

You know they say, you are what you eat . I totally agree with this saying. The phrase finder says its meaning is "To be fit and healthy, you need to eat good food ". But I guess it's more powerful than that. I personally assume that the "food" here is more about things we put into ourselves, such as what we see, what we think, or what we feel . Just everything we put into ourselves . So, if this world was a restaurant, everything you can see, think, and feel in this world would be the foods. And the main role here is you! Because you would be the customer in the restaurant who choose the foods you want to eat. Whatever you eat, it will always affect your body (your life). That's why it's really important to choose "what you eat", because it's what really shapes you in the end. If you want your life to be better, you should manage what you eat. You can't just consume whatever you see, because not everything you see is
