“When someone says “You’ve changed”, it simply means you’ve stopped living life their way.” – Unknown
Spidey and I don’t fear change. He, after all changes regularly, to a form that is not usual for the rest of us. But that is a little extreme!
The thing is, for the best part, we tend to live our lives, carve out habits that are instilled into us by the folk around us. Sometimes it takes us growing up, and finding our own beliefs and thoughts, to realise that what we are doing is not what we really want, but just what society dictates that we do.
If we are strong enough to make a change, be it turn to vegetarianism, take our faith more seriously or even standing up for ourselves, there will always be someone who it rankles against.
And it is not because we are doing anything wrong, it is because those we used to ‘follow’ are unfamiliar with the direction we have taken.
Don’t let this stop you from taking independent steps though. Our thoughts on this are that you listen to others to get opinions. Sometimes we all make mistakes in decisions we make, but, unless there is a good reason, stand by what you believe.
Be yourself, and be happy.
It takes all sorts to make this a wonderful world to live in. Life would be boring if we were all exactly the same.
Have a wonderful Sunday Peeps!

Good point Spidey. We all have to make changes at times and they are not always easy ones to make 🙂 xxx

We need to check ourselves and see if the change fits sometimes!

Most people who knew me three years ago say I have changed, that they loved the old Beka more. Am happy I took my faith more seriously and changed my ways…..

As long as you’re happy Beka and not hurting anyone then the change is perfect!

Yes, sis! We need to keep developing. We get so used to just function in our habits that we often don’t even notice that we already grew out of what once felt right. We feel uncomfortable and unhappy with situations, people, and routines, and think there is something wrong with us until we find out that where we should be and where we are doesn’t match anymore. It often takes time until we realize that. And it can take some courage to follow that inner development in acting accordingly. Great thoughts, sis!

Exactly that sis . It’s taken me a while to realise I can make my own decisions. I can ride the wave of someone else’s disapproval and still come out standing proud on my surfboard of life!
