"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world" -AF

Sometimes when im thinking about how alot of people my age are a bit lost; not quite sure where they are going in life, i think about how fast things change. Just as an example two years ago i had no idea what i was going, but now i think ive figured it out, at least for the most part some short term goals. Things change fast, before you know it you're already done something you felt as though you almost just began.

Despite this i feel that there are more things that remain the same for longer than they take to change. You think about certain situations and say: 'had this or that happened 8 months ago where would we be today?' Its frustrating that so much time is wasted without change.

The things that do change quickly usually only take one action and then the rest comes tumbling out after. The things that don't change are those that you cant action even if you tried. They involve someone else, and its up to them to change. Unfortunately they spend more time thinking about it than it would take to start and be over and done with.

It is only your life that is in your hands, only you can make it happen. So, that being said if for you this means taking the initiative to do something you've been meaning to do: go for it. If you're on the other side, just know that you cant change someone or make someone do something unless they want to, let these things go and try to be patient while they waste their time and focus on making your life as best as you can make it for yourself.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. -BO
