The thing society calls change.

The toughest step is always accepting it. Taking a deep breath and gulping it down. Knowing you have to change. But, wait, the tougher step is CHANGING. Because you know what? Change just doesn't create itself. You have to be willing to feel fear, doubt, longing, and all the emotions, for change to occur. Yes, it may be a physical journey on a physical planet, but, in reality, it's more emotional than anything. And it's all up to you.
"Unless you're willing to do that work, and to get angry and to get sad and to get scared and to get uncomfortable, and all those things that need to happen for change to occur, then you're right. The choice is yours. What do you want to do?" Jillian Michaels
People see change as something different, really. And a lot of people are scared of change. I don't blame them. When you are used to one thing, and that one thing is getting taken away from you, what do you do? Now, don't get me wrong, change can come in a lot of different ways. But either way, the thing society calls change, I merely call it evolve, or evolving.

Take a look at this...
Change: the act or instance of making or becoming different.
Evolve: develop gradually esp. from a simple or more complex form.


Some may say I see change as evolving because I am an optimist. Maybe it's because of the way I see life. Forget that. I see changing as evolving because in life we evolve. Simple as that.
In life we start as a much simpler form, a baby. But as we go through life we grow, gradually. It's not one day that we are an infant, then suddenly the next morning wake up an adult. Gradually we transform, we learn, have new experiences, we feel, we love, and we lose some things too. You decide what you take from it, and really, in any situation in life. It's all part of our continuous journey. Its what makes us evolve in life and without any one of the elements, we would be different people.

Remember, change doesn't happen all at once, it's constant. It's waking up everyday and pushing through, evolving, until you are satisfied, and realize that it is where you want and where you need to be.
Think of it like this, change creates building blocks of a stair case, that only you have the key to. Each change, each failure, each triumph, makes you who you are today.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world.Gandhi
What do you want our human race to evolve to? What do you want your fellow man to be, say 50 years from now? What kind of person do you want to be walking this earth in the future? Show me.
