Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

Excerpt from: With respect, tolerance, and an open mind…
To simply take offense at something without giving it any thought is to deny yourself an opportunity for growth. Even if that growth simply means reaffirming what you already believe.
To think you have to agree with everything about a person is to deny yourself of some of the best friendships the world has to offer.

There are some memes making their way across social networks these days claiming that, “People don’t change.”
Obviously, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Every experience we have provides us with information that either reaffirms something we already believe, alters a belief we already have, or creates a completely new belief.
Whenever a person’s belief changes or they acquire a new belief, the person the new or altered belief changes.
If you’ve ever thought “Well, I’m not going to do that again!” or “Well, that didn’t work. I guess I’ll try it a different way next time”, it’s proof that you’ve grown. And growth is change.
If you want to expedite the process of personal growth, then give yourself and others the freedom to change.
Be a person who believes in the possibility of positive change because it is often the belief in something that creates the possibility.
