Change

I am kind of funny about change. I am a growth and goal oriented person. I tend to like change and to not be afraid of it. Sometimes I find myself even calling for it, urging it; welcoming it.

 

Though there are some changes I have a hard time accepting, so far in life I seem to really get energy from change and embrace it. So long as it is not changing something I am adamant about or really attached to that is.

Any way. . .

My soul naturally likes to, longs to, and leans toward encouraging growth in not only my soul but in the souls of others. To inspire change; positive change. Change that will lead to better feelings, a better way of being, a more fulfilling way of doing. And change that will ultimately help lead a person to accomplish their own goals and dreams.

 

Sometimes people don't like having a cheerleader around prodding them though.

 

And sometimes there are some people who seem just simply incapable of ever changing.

 

I have found myself frustrated at times when certain people in my life don't appear to be changing for the better, when I reason that they could be, or should be.  

 

One of those times when I was feeling especially frustrated I was encouraged with the above Gem.

 

I was encouraged by the reality that whether others around me are changing or not -- I can be changing. I can be growing. I can be moving toward the things that stir my heart and call forth my soul. 

 

And though I like to get caught up in the proposition of encouraging change in others -- sometimes I just need to let go, and be satisfied with what is in my realm of responsibility. . .

 

And that is the changing and growth of my own soul.
