I keep telling you the future isn’t set in stone. It’s not all decided yet. The future is just what’s down the road we decided to walk on today. You can change roads anytime. And that changes where you end up.

A Six-Word Story
It’s never too late to change.
Quote of the Week
All change is not growth, just as all movement is not forward.
~Ellen Glasgow
Quote of the Week
You can never really go back to the same waters. Not only are you no longer the same, but neither are the waters you left. The current has changed. The elements of nature have affected the stream. When you return, although it appears the same, it really is a different river and you are a different person. Therefore, you cannot cross the same river twice.
~Alice Walker
Quote of the Week
Don’t run from lessons; they are little packages of treasure that have been given to us. As we learn from them, our lives change for the better.
~Louise Hay

Sorry is not enough.
Sometimes you actually have to change.
~Meredith Walters
Quote of the Week
This is an important lesson to remember when you’re having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won’t feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can’t feel real joy unless you’ve felt heartache. You can’t have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can’t know what it’s like to feel holy until you know what it’s like to feel really fucking evil. And you can’t be birthed again until you’ve died.

Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson
As someone who’s not for motivational self-help books, I was a bit reluctant to buy this but since I was on vacation and I needed something short and light to read, not to mention it’s cheap, I’ve decided to give it a go.
Nothing in this book is new to us. Insights on how we react or deal with the changes we face. The world changes whether we want it or not. The ideas are extremely important and useful, sure, but it’s just obvious common sense. I mean the book is okay, however, I’ve became so accustomed to change already which is probably why it didn’t create a huge impact on me. It doesn’t mean though that I’m good at dealing with it, no, but somehow, I’ve learned to expect it. I think that how it affects all of us differs depending on the situation we are in in life and how far we have been pushed when faced by change.
I’m not sure my bad mood affected how I thought about this book as I’ve read this from start to finish while in the tour van on the way back to Tbilisi with the most boring tour guide and tour group. Some people may enjoy reading this, some may not. And some should.
Quotable Quotes:
“What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine. The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.”
“He knew sometimes some fear can be good. When you are afraid things are going to get worse if you don’t do something, it can prompt you into action. But it is not good when you are afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.”
“Sometimes, things change and they are never the same again. This looks like one of those times. That’s life! Life moves on. And so should we.”
“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go.
Whether it’s guilt, anger, love, loss or betrayal.

We fight to hold on and we fight to let go.

Quote of the Week
Sometimes it’s not the people who change, it’s the mask that falls off.
Quote of the Week
Pain doesn’t show up in our lives for no reason.
It’s a sign that something in our lives needs to change.
Quote of the Week
Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That’s the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.
–Haruki Murakami
Quote of the Week
Some people we just outgrow. Relationships might end with no real explanation as to why. And when that happens, respect the shift. Honor the growth and understand that not all roots can stay planted in the same soil forever.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.
