It is for the best

Every change in this world must always start with ourselves. It is not specifically ourselves, like our body, but our attitude, manners, and perspective that can ruin us at any time. A lot of people believe that changing ourselves just because we want other people to love or like us is a bad perspective that needs to be changed as soon as possible. Change is not something that you can do for others; change is for yourselves. Changing is for growing and maturing, and being mature can also help to change others' perspectives and the whole world.

In this world, change is very important. It sounds so risky and sad, but changing yourself is a sign that you are ready to grow and to be better. I am not saying that you are changing just because you were not good in the past. Growing is part of a human’s life; as we all grow, we are all maturing, and a lot of things will change. Don’t be afraid. Keep in mind that you are changing for your own good, not for someone else’s attention.

As for me, I am still growing because I also have a lot of things to change about myself. I know that it sounds so weird: "A lot of things you need to change? What are you, a rebel?" No, that’s not what I meant. There are lots of things that need changing in my attitude and perspective. I noticed that this bad attitude and perspective were starting to ruin my life. There are lots of times that I am being close-minded and finding it hard to accept my defeat. I’ve been blaming myself and getting angry so easily with other people, and I know that it is very bad, but these past few weeks, I’ve been trying to work things out in a better way. I’ve been spending more time improving myself in the things that I needed to improve. Instead of blaming myself when I don’t get high grades or scores, when the truth is it is really my fault, I started to focus more and have more time to study so that I wouldn’t fail next time. I’ve learned to accept whatever the result is because I know that I did my very best, and there is no need for me to doubt myself every time.

We need to keep in mind that changing isn’t for other people; it is for your own good. Changing yourself doesn’t mean you don’t accept who or what you are; changing is for the better.
