I Can Change

A beautiful morning walk at 615am today. As I trudged along enjoying the various hues of blue in the sky as the day broke, I reminded myself that while night gives way to light and this daily change is constant, in life there are many instances where darkness never brightens and the only constant is the inability to change. No point asking others why they cannot change. They like to hide in the dark. No point asking others why they remain shallow and superficial. They just are that way. No point feeling frustrated and upset by their inability to be authentic. They just don't know how to be real. The only thing to do is to keep changing and evolving myself. Live in the light of God's love, accept people for what they are, and keep seeking depth, connection and authenticity in others. The right people will come into my life. Keeping the doors closed on those who do not belong in my life is always a challenge because clean cuts are not always possible. Accepting these people as being quite the opposite of everything I stand for and yet being gracious and kind to them is neccessary. That's a tricky balance. Today I am struggling with it but I choose to see it as part of my evolving and transforming into something better. Because I can change. Looking for ways to be a better version of myself. Always.
