Isn't it amazing that we can look back to our childhood, the way we thought and acted, and unequivocally state that we are definitely not that same person. I think of my college years when I experienced tremendous growth physically, emotionally, and spiritually; but yet, I am not the same person.
Twenty-two years ago I moved to Austin, not knowing anyone, and began a new chapter - a new road on this journey of my life. I grew so much as I struggled to work out my finances and to understand what I really wanted to do with my life. And yet, I'm not that same person.
On and on, year after year, I can look back and see what has transpired the years before - sometimes even months before, and conclude that I am not that same person.
So, what's the point of this little thought? Glad you asked. :-)
The point is:
If we're growing - we're changing. Daily growth leads to life change.
We are not the same person we were as a child. We are not the same person we were ten years, five years, or even one year ago. I find myself changing on a weekly basis, albeit ever so slightly, but still changing.
My wish is that we can all say, "the person that I was when I woke up this morning is a better person that is going to bed this evening all because of change, growth, experience, conversations, etc."
Do you find yourself to be a slightly different person than you were last week? Please share your thoughts.
