Change Should Be For The Better

Sometimes, we are unprepared for these external changes, but we have to adapt to them to simply survive.

On the other hand, as we mature, we become capable of changing the different old habits of our personality which have been brought about by the events of our childhood and youth. Likewise, we can change some of these old mental programs in our life. If we have already reached a certain level of independence and maturity, we could qualify this kind of changes as internally-induced. As we mature, we can become confident of choosing which habits are worth keeping and which habits are worth letting go. We grow in confidence as we make progress in our personal growth and development. Every small progress is worth the try and we can build on every small victory that we everyday accomplish towards a more substantial and holistic change in our life in the future.

Change Should Be For The Better

Old habits are really sometimes hard to dislodge from our system. Yet, if we want to make way for changes, we need to begin looking at some of the habits which we have imbibed in our growing-up process. Aristotle once said that “we are what we repeatedly do.”Our habits are the things that we repeatedly do, and these habits make up the very core and kernel of our personality. There are people whose negative habits far outweigh their positive habits, and we can say that they have a bad personality. Likewise, there are people who have more positive habits and we term them as good people. We also say that a person is virtuous if he or she has many virtues to be proud of.

We can overturn the imbalance of bad habits over good habits by tweaking our bad habits and developing the opposite good habits. We just need to confidently take the challenge of change. Moreover, change isn’t good if it will make us worse. So always remember that if ever we decide to change, we should change for the better.
