When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves

I havn't written in this in a while mostly because I know that no one but Ben is really going to read it lol. But, I should continue none-the-less.
The only guarantee in life is the guarantee of change and I'm rather thankful for that. It's been an extremely challenging and difficult few months at minimum and the need for change in my life is great. I am heading in a direction I have never been before, and for the first time in my life, I have gained the courage to ask for help in getting there. Although things have not gone as I had planned or hoped, I know my friends and family are behind me, moreso then I could have hoped for.
Change has always scared me. Fear of the unknown, the new and the challenge that goes with it. This acceptance of change and the positive association I have given it, has happened previously to me, usually when a relationship ends. I feel uplifted, free and overwhelmed with opportunity. Last time I told myself I wouldn't stay in a relationship if I knew I should get out, I wouldn't compromise myself for their benefit, and I wouldn't loose myself in the process. It seems I have done all of this again and feel worse about that then anything.
However, I am starting back on the path to who I am and though I never expect to truly find me, it is the process of self-discovery I am greatly looking forward too.

As I'm going about my days it seems there are more and more things to complain about. Everyone I talk to, myself included, has an endless list of dislikes, upsets and disapprovements. While this is normal and understandable I feel increasingly wrong about my words, tone and their direction. Why complain? What will it achieve? If not complaining to the source is it not a complete waste of time and energy? Perhaps the outsource of frustration is the reward for noticing an issue or area of improvement. Whatever the case I don't feel my complaints lead to answers or improvements. If I take no action to better these situations, who am I to say anything? This is when complaining turns to whining and I don't want to be a whiner.
Today I make a conscious effort to not complain unless the situation directly effects me or I plan to make it better. I challenge you to do the same. :)

A key step in getting a job is showing up for the interview

Over the last little while I have had this reoccuring idea to not only write my thoughts down, but attempt to share them with those who might be interested; thus, I intend to enter the world of blogging. Even if this is never seen by anyone, the idea that it could be seen my many is a comforting feeling and I feel less alone in this wacky modern era. With this, I would like to welcome myself to the blogging world and say how happy I am to be here. :)
