Apparently, the business machines were changing faster than the
clerks! Which isn't to say that people can't change. They can. In
fact, our greatest hope is birthed from knowing that we CAN change. We
don't have to remain the same. Things can be different than they are.
Nobody can change your life. It is something only you can do. New and
beautiful things await those who believe that things can be different.
I've known relationships to dramatically improve once the couple
learned this simple axiom: "You can't change your partner; but your
partner can change." We change because we want to and because we
believe we can. There is great hope in that.
The unhappiest people change the least. They are not convinced they
can start over! They often believe that they cannot truly be different
and must continue leading unhappy lives forever. They should learn
from snakes....
Snakes know about shedding the past and putting on something new. Old
ways, old habits, old ideas and old attitudes don't fit forever. Once
outgrown, we can shed them and grow into a new skin. (Ever thought
you'd be learning a life lesson from a snake?)
Everything will be different when you are different. It begins with
two indispensable ingredients - desire and belief. Those who WANT to
shed the old skin and who BELIEVE they can, will make needed changes.
And they will be happy.
