CAN PEOPLE REALLY CHANGE
Image Source
Change is a broad topic to discuss. If we are talking about the change in physical appearance, of course, all of us are changing. Compare yourself today from the five-year-old kid that you used to be. There are lots of changes, isn’t it? You became taller, the muscles grew stronger, and the facial features are also changing each passing days. Our skin undergoes dramatic changes as we get older including heavy eyelids, dark circles, uneven complexion, and wrinkles. The hair and eyebrows are also starting to turn into gray, vision problems are occurring, experiencing sudden memory loss, and the body becomes weaker.
Surgical enhancements and beauty products can slower the signs of aging but it has no power to stop it. Physical changes are part of our lives whether we like it or not.
How about the views, opinions, and behavior aspects? Are we capable to change it? When I was in college, I used to wear heavy makeup. Most of the people around me keep on insisting that it’s not the appropriate look for my age. They are telling me to go for a natural look but I didn’t listen. I’m just literally hearing the words but I’m not absorbing it. Until one day, they stopped. I haven’t noticed that I’m starting to change my preference. Those well-defined eyebrows and dark eyeliners are also getting lighter. From red lipstick, I begin to choose the pink shades until I ended up with lip balm.
The funny thing is I’m unaware of my actions, I just find myself doing it. A thousand words and pieces of advice are useless if the person is not willing to change. Even if you put it in a tape recorder just to make the person realized his unpleasant habits, if he doesn’t want to change, he will not change. It is like giving your friend a mirror but refused to look at his face, the mirror became pointless. On the other hand, if he is ready to embrace a new perspective on life, his body will make a move before he can even realize it.
Every change will only be successful if the person has the willingness to do so. The process may take a couple of days, a few weeks, months and even years. It doesn’t matter if you are taking the road slowly, those little steps can still move you forward.
Another important thing about change is we need a strong motivation to have a full commitment. Let’s put it this way, if you are changing your writing styles and trying to be in different genres hoping to impress your fellow Steemians, what will you do if the things didn’t happen the way you want it to be? However, if you are changing your writing styles to improve yourself and to reach more souls that you can inspire, the fire will keep on burning even if the rain comes. A pretentious change doesn’t last long, you are just fooling yourself. It must be sincere, honest, and real.
Change is a constant thing in this world, so can people really change? Yes, only if we are open to adapt fresh experiences and new horizons.
Philosophy in life worth pondering:
- One life to live, Real Life is hardcore
- DOING THE RIGHT THINGS OR DOING THE THINGS RIGHT
- DOES TRUTH NEEDS EVIDENCE
- THE FEAR OF LOSING WHAT YOU NEVER HAD
- WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO OWN YOUR EMOTIONS? @ecotrain QOTW
- TO LOVE AND BE HURT OR NEVER LOVE AT ALL
- CAN YOU BE TRULY HAPPY WITHOUT MONEY
good points pam.. we must be open to change or it doesn't matter who tells us or how many times.. :)
Change .. part of the story ,,
It happens to change, without you feeling, because you, how I will say, focused on one thing and sacrificed everything but in the latter, did not reach what you want
Did not reach what you want, and remained a goal and no dreams and nothing
I sacrificed everything for nothing, nothing now
Nothing ^^
There you change, you will not realize it, until others tell it to you
You will not care about anything afterwards, you will not care about anything, no goals no dreams, only regret and regret
Loss and thinking of revenge and hatred and blackness, everything is bad
Another world, you might find it wonderful then
I felt it was a completely untidy response and would not deliver anything
But when I read it, everything is clear to me
Change .. After all, like you lose memory, how you and how you return nothing stays
Except that it must go to be exhilarated to move away
Really cool ^^
There are sad things that happened, happening, and will happen in our lives but we must learn how to stay happy despite these things.
If we are having negativity inside us, we must change and turn it into positive ones. :)

I believe people can change. But it's hard work.. I will speak for myself when I say I was a jealous one for years, I know now this was due to the way my exes treated me, but it had taken a toll on the way that I instinctively responded to things. It took me years after I realized this, to actually change my behavior. Some things are so natural build in after doing/responding in a certain way that it may take as many years to change it.. but it is really possible. In my case my environment was the biggest game changer to get rid of nasty behavior issues :)
I understand where you are coming, I'm also like you before. The hardest part is when we are filled with insecurities, anger, and jealousy because of how someone treated us in an unpleasant way.
The process of changing our negative thoughts need a lot of time, but what matters the most is that you were able to overcome it. :)
People can change but like you said, there will never be change as long as the person doesn't want to. But I think it's also always a good idea to stay close to them during the change, to help them so they don't give up.
So true, we need to support those who are taking steps to change themselves to be a better person. :)
