When seeds are planted they have two choices. 1.) Grow, change, flourish. 2.) DIE. You are a seed. You have those same choices. Either you allow yourself growth through change, or you die.
One thing I have struggled to accept lately are individuals who refuse to grow. I can't comprehend in my mind someone who is content in never experiencing personal growth. There are people in my life, who are near and dear to my heart, that make me want to grab them by the shoulders, shake them, and yell "Change is good!". I understand change is hard. I understand it is uncomfortable! But to believe that someone who changes is a fake, or less of a person, simply because you are content sitting in your stubbornness, is simply ridiculous.
I've changed leaps and bounds over the years. In fact it is safe to say that I've changed exponentially over the last few months. If you would have asked me 2 years ago if I believed in being a meek, submissive wife, I would have probably laughed at you hysterically. If you would have asked me if I were going to grad school I would look at you like an alien, as if there were any other option!? If you would have asked me if I thought revenge and holding grudges was a solid choice I would have heartily agreed...
Things are just different now. Thank God for that! I am so thankful for the growth I have experienced and the growth that I continue to experience. That turned into far more of a rant then I meant for it too. I just wish I could convince others that they weren't meant to stay in one place and collect dust forever...
