Change

Can you change? Are you willing to change? Are you willing to accept change that is thrust upon you? Can you fundamentally change the thrust of your life without regret for what might have been? Can you understand that what might have been, will always hold you back until you can let it go and stop yearning for lost opportunities? Do you know that your forward progress is tethered to your unfulfilled desires and will keep pulling you back until you cut that unfulfilled desire loose and bid it forever adieu. I understand how sad that may seem, but just know that you were not meant for what might have been, you were meant for what can be, and you will become that for which you strive towards, not from what you have been forced to back away from. Embrace where you are and do not weep for who you didn’t turn out to be. You were not put here to wallow in misery or have a life defined by dashed hopes, and unachievable dreams, you were put here to fulfill your own greater purpose and to reach for and achieve your loftiest goals. Don’t define yourself by past disappointments or thwarted ambitions, define yourself by the success you are about to work towards a better life.
