We change so much as human beings over the space of our lives, from children into young adults, then from mature adults into our more senior years. Some changes happen to people much sooner and more frequent than others and for some other people not so much changes as they may have limited their opportunities and have minimal spiritual growth.

This current phase of life and at my age, I have a greater understanding of who I am and who I most certainly am not. I feel strongly about my beliefs and feel like for the first time I have a voice and I am not afraid to use it.

I get such a buzz out of meeting new people, understanding their backgrounds, where they came from and learning their beliefs. It is also refreshing to meet someone in your current growth phase as they meet the person you are today, all the growing and the pain you have experienced has led to this moment and they understand who you are right now.

That is an empowering feeling for me, as sometimes its hard for people to see you who you are today, the young adult who has dramatically grown and not the child they remember. Everyone goes through these stages in their lives and for that reason people come and go from your life, a reason or a season, as I always say. You either grow together or apart its all part of the journey. I have noticed as people get older, they seem to see the value in the time they have left in this world and become less tolerant of things or people that they may have previously let slide by.

I recently started a new job and I do believe that it is the first time in the fourteen years of my working life that I have been treated with respect and treated as an adult. I have been fortunate to have had lots of opportunities to meet new people and what it has done for me personally is reaffirm that I am on the right path and I am exactly where I am suppose to be.

I feel I have been blessed with my chosen network of friends and family that surround me as they can see the changes and except me for who I am today. A friend told me recently how much I had grown and changed as person and that the me five years ago would be very proud of my current thoughts, outlook and life plans. I took that as such an incredible compliment as a lot has happened in that time to make those changes happen and I felt it was nice of her to notice the breakthroughs.

We grow and yes, we all change but its important to always keep true to yourself. Meet new people, learn from them, have fun as these are all opportunities for you to learn about others and also to learn even more about yourself.

So, I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week, be true and kind to one another and please remember… Every day is a new day to try, you can quit your day job, just don’t ever give up on yourself or your dream.
