The question we often face is whether we should change or improve to align with the standards and ideals set by others. Throughout my journey, I’ve come to realize that while I may not fully transform myself, I can certainly work on enhancing certain aspects to foster connections with others and share my true personality. I believe that experiences and exposure to our environments may help to shape our personalities.
When confronted with challenges, setbacks, or even positive changes, my personality has adapted to these situations. This adaptability gives me the power to either welcome change or close myself off from new possibilities. At what point do we embrace who we are while also remaining open to actively listening and viewing things from perspectives beyond our own?
I believe this awakening begins each new day with a commitment to being open and engaging with our surroundings rather than letting them dictate our responses. By paying attention to our thoughts and also considering others’ views, we can question how these perspectives can enrich our lives or those of our friends. For our mental peace, it may not be beneficial to absorb everything, but we can gradually open ourselves to learning how to connect and improve who we are genuinely.
Though we may never completely change, evolution, time, and the start of each new day provide us the opportunity to rise again, determined to be better and more attuned to the lessons of yesterday. Let’s embrace this journey of growth, cultivate our strengths, and welcome new experiences with open hearts.
