Change

     Changing your future might be uncomfortable and may take time to plan but it will always be worth doing what you love and creating beautiful moments that you can use to encourage others. Change is hard and for some people terrifying but once we realize that it's inevitable, we can make a plan and choose what we want to do. Life is constantly changing, especially just when we get comfortable. We can choose to embrace it and extract the positive things that come with it, to thank for small things along the way. Or we can choose to hide, run and fight the change until we have no more strength left.
I love to be challenged and stretched because that's when I grow most and learn and have stories to share. It's not always easy and fun but I learned so much.  I think it's easier for people in other countries because their life is so uncertain that they learn to be flexible and to go with the flow. They seem so grateful and positive when they have to little finances or support. I get so encouraged watching immigrants and people who talk about missionary trips. They are always amazed at how happy people are in other countries. I guess it's the perspective on life and challenges they face but most of all the hope they have for future. It's so infectious!

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw
