Every Day Is a New Opportunity To Change
“Welcome to today! Another day, another chance,
feel free to change!”
Change is essentially taking something that would otherwise remain the same and turning it into an dissimilar form. As humans we are naturally resistant to change, because with change arises new challenges. Many of us don't realize that they can make the choice to change small things in their lives daily that may amount to bigger changes for the better in their future. For example, if a person wanted to be a lawyer and did nothing with their time but worked a job at an amusement park, changing their lifestyle and looking for a low level job at a law firm, would more than likely yield a bigger return for their investment of hard work and time.
Change can also be beneficial in other ways, such as if a person changed their experimental use of drugs from heavy usage to minimal, which may cause a steep ascent in their personal health. Another example of change may be the implementation of a new year’s resolution at the beginning of the year to eat more healthy foods on a consistent basis, which would also more than likely increase a person's health. The main thing is to realize that change can happen whenever you want it to, not just on New Year's Day, and not just when it's most convenient for your state of mind at any certain point in time.
“God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change,
the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.”

Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?"
I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?"
– George Bernard Shaw
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.
We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
– Barack Obama
