Change
(page 6)
Change is the end result of all true learning.
I don't go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people's approval.

New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved.

Only dreams give birth to change.
If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
As our values are the core to who we are as human beings, they are also the easiest way to identify and connect with others in meaningful ways.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for... reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.
