Of coarse you know ,or at least came across this phrase before.However,I am not going to talk here about Rome.I want to talk about 'Change",any type of change,but precisely "Personal change".
I started the journey,as I like to call it,of change in 2011.At the beginning,I just wanted to change because I wasn't satisfied with myself and my life as it was.What I was unsatisfied with were many things and that's totally another story,that I may talk about later in a separate post.
Anyway,my journey started with the goal of change but as I went on,I discovered that not all what I hoped to change is bad or unsatisfactory to me.It actually works for me and I like it,but the problem arose from the people,especially family member,who always surrounds me.Their continuous criticism and negative comments brought me down and made me unsure about myself and what I do.Their negativity bombarded my soul and affected my emotions to the degree that made me think that
"I am bad" and "I must change". I admit I needed to change something in myself.However,this thing was not myself or my behavior.It was my self-concept or,as some people like to call it,my self-image.It is the way how I think and perceives myself and what I do.I am not a bad or offensive person in the core,nor I need to modify or shift everything I do.This self-debate proposed a significant question:"What I do everyday that contradicts my inner self and needs to change?" and most important "what are the things that I like or hate anyway?". I realized that I need to answer these questions and discover my true self first to know specifically what to change.Since then,I came along a long and exhausting road of self discovery and self explore,and may be exploring life
itself again but this time more confidently about and acting upon what I have discovered and willing to change.Yeah,Change is a tough and slow process,yet it is rewarding and worth all your effort and time,provided that You do it ِas a matter of self-growth,not just obeying the orders or instructions of anyone.
"Rome wasn't built in a day",that's merely true.But the important thing is that,it was finally built. Nonetheless,how much time or effort it has consumed.
