The dawn of change
We are not determined at birth. We do not remain the same. Our brain changes according to our experiences. We change and adapt, whether we realize or not. We are constantly evolving.
How does this happen? Thanks to the scientific phenomenon known as neuroplasticity, which, in brief, is the ability of the brain to change continuously throughout an individual's life.
Yes, you heard right. We can change our brain every second, minute, day. This is really hopeful. This means we can change the way we think, act and behave. We are not bound by our fears, weaknesses, shortcomings. We could be better humans.
A thorn in the flesh for me, growing up and right through to adulthood, has always been my struggle with aloneness. Not loneliness, because I know I’m always surrounded by family and friends who love, support and encourage me so (and for this I’m tremendously grateful) - but aloneness, that despite being surrounded by people, I constantly feel like I have no one who really understands me, my joys and struggles or to have deep, engaging intellectual conversations.
Sometime ago I decided not to be a lifelong victim to this thorn in my flesh, but to take control and remove it entirely.
So I called these out - that I don't fear tomorrow or where I'll be - that wherever I am, I am always surrounded by love, friends, stability, and purpose.
We are not victims of nature or circumstances. I refuse to let nature, my environment or circumstances dictate the outcome of my life. I am always determined to change it for my good. And the only way to change is to Desire, Think, Confess. When I do, even something as static as the body, anatomy, brain and mind we’re born with could change.
I was so desperate and adamant I knew something shifted in the realm for me.
My quest for change happened in this sequence:
Desire. Desperately so, if I might add.
Think
Confess or Speak into Reality
I’m glad to report that it’s been several months since that day I cried out for change and I’m now experiencing one of the brightest episodes in my life. Exciting things are unfolding and I am only at the beginning of the journey. I’ll be sure to post more on that so stay tuned!
Smiling because exciting things are happening
