Change

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. ~Mary Engelbreit

This is a quote that reminds me that if I disagree with something, if I believe something is not right, then I have stop, go back to it and try to change it. Yet, I have encountered many things that I have tried my best to change, but have been highly unsuccessful. For example, studying plants. I do not find plants interesting, I do not find that the study of them is particularly beneficial to my life, and there is really nothing that I can do that will likely change this. Except, I have discovered that if I think about them differently, if I look at them for the true miracle that God created, then they suddenly become beautiful. They still are not interesting, nor does the study of them pertain much to my life, but I can appreciate them and I am beginning to love them to.


Today, I noticed that a particular activity that was intended to foster school spirit, made me quite upset. It was absolutely hilarious, but it made me mildly upset. Ben, the person who always runs this particular type of school spirit event only ever picks the same people to do it, only every grade 12's, and only ever day students. At first, I was mad at Ben, but then I realized that I wasn't upset with him, I just disagreed with what he was doing. So I decided to bring up in Prefect Council, do something about it instead of fester about it, and hopefully next Monday, the event will be inclusive rather than exclusive. If it is still the same, then I will just have to keep trying until I exhaust every opportunity to change it.



Change what you can, accept what you cannot, but always be the change.
