constant change = acceptable oxymoron

the only constant is change. this is probably a phrase in which most have heard but few have accepted. everything changes all day and every day. no matter how much you'd like things to stay the same,they dont

some may argue that staying the same is boring anyway, and that change is good (for the most part). but, at the same time, some have tied into tradition and societa norms so much that there is no more question of whether things should or should not change anymore.

when the women's movement happened in both america and in europe, the women were literally fighting against something that was considered a natural law. women were bound by nature to their duties as a home maker and child-bearer. there was no question as to whether this was true or not. this was the way it was. even during the movement of women's rights, there were still some women who thought of this as unnatural and too radical. that the women who were trying to change were out of their minds or barbaric almost.

but now, with most universities' statistically enrolling more women than men, we can see that what was considered natural at one point in time is now unfathomable.

this brings me to think of other things that have maybe been considered naturally the way things go but really they are just something we've agreed upon to the be the norm: the nuclear family (father, mother, usually 2 children)? privatized healthcare?

expand your mind to think of things that you consider to be naturally the way things go and ask yourself if it really is the truth or if it is indeed a fabricated truth that you were born into and have just accepted as the norm

this blog was supposed to go another way... but my thought process took me here... i wanted to make this more about an individual and not so much as a societal consideration

so look at also yourself... every morning you wake up (which is a true blessing!), ask yourself if what you do everyday is what you want to do or just something you have agreed to and havent been able to get out of... you should be always doing exactly what you want and when you want... and then some may argue that chaos would ensue if everyone did what they wanted. but i can only come back with the argument that if you are a good person, what you want to do will always positively contribute to the general health of a society

if you love what you do, you do what you do right.

i started getting in the habit of always asking myself "what do you WANT to do today?" because sometimes i find myself doing things because i think i'm supposed to be doing them.... but this should never EVER be the case.. this isnt dress rehearsal.. this is your only chance

this has become a reiteration of past blogs... but i dont care.. it's the most important message i can convey
