Start to Change at any age
A friend of mine crossed 65. I asked him what's changing? He sent me the following lines.*
Yes, I am changing. — After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.
Yes, I am changing. — I just realized that I am not "Atlas". The world does not rest on my shoulders.
Yes, I am changing — I have stopped bargaining with stallholders selling vegetables and fruit vendors. After all, a few Pesos more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his future needs.
Yes, I am changing — I pay the taxi driver without waiting for the change. The extra money might bring a smile to his face. After all, he is toiling much harder for a living than me.
Yes, I am changing — I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down memory lane and relive the past.
Yes, I am changing — I've learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
Yes, I am changing — I give compliments freely and generously. After all, it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient but also for me.
Yes, I am changing — I've learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances.
Yes, I am changing — I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do.
Yes, I am changing — I remain cool when someone plays dirty politics to outrun me in the rat race. After all, I am not a rat and neither am I in any race.
Yes, I am changing — I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. After all, it's my emotions that make me human.
Yes, I am changing — I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas, with relationships, I will never be alone.
Yes, I am changing — I've learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.
Yes, I am changing — I am doing what makes me happy. After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself.
