A changed change!

    This post is definitely not going to be a very long one. So, you can read it!

This one is with a view to clarify some thoughts. Very lately, my posts have evolved as preachers of the importance of a changed life; transformed goals etc etc. Just as I was pondering over the subject of my posts, I realized that somewhere, they lack 'complete communication' of my thoughts.

I certainly believe in the fact that change is the law of life. Societal norms, strict rules, unnecessary restrictions- all must undergo a change,a transition rather, to become friendly. Those are on a much wider level. We can unhesitatingly term them as 'traditions'. As Saint Morari Bapu says,"parampara pravaahit honi chahiye" which means traditions must undergo transitions with changing times. And I revere him a lot. Not just for this one thought but many other great thoughts.

But the change that I have usually written about are associated with a person-not his surroundings! I have talked of how 'changes' have influenced my life and how I have needed them to happen in my life.
Yes. All of that is cent percent true! But I also feel, people may perceive it differently.

I shall explain briefly.
A change is needed when what one perceives as good is not actually good and when that change happens, one realizes what was bad with one's 'good'. But that does not mean, or at least I did not intend to imply, that one should let 'anybody' enter one's sphere of personal space and make it. Mind you, 'Teachers' never intimidate- so they really are not 'anybody'. They inspire, as I said.  I am not talking of them.

The change that I talked of comes from within- When you realize that no voice other than that of your inner self tells you that you need to start looking forward to some newer and nicer habits; a better life.  And again, this does not mean that you should not listen to people around you. But you must define lines. My definition of a change does not ever associate itself with moral principles. They must not be converted for they define who you are.

So, conversions and changes are practical and useful only till they lead you to a maturely nuanced line of action! In case you find your morals being compromised, ahem!, you are most probably letting yourself be swayed away unknowingly. So, decide whether or not it is your inner self guiding you. Because when you will need a change, you will acquire it eventually!-Without compromising your 'self-ness'.
