"Be the Change You Want to see in the World"

The words of Mahatma Gahdhi ring true in my mind seemingly more now than ever. During this time of transition in my life when I go from being independent and responsible for myself in every aspect of life to sharing everything and moving into someone else's home, it becomes a world of difference. I should take this down time to look back on how hard I've worked over the past six years in school. I should enjoy the uncertainty of my life and not worry about little things. I appreciate the bonding time with my mom and close-by friends while relaxing and doing the little things that I love while I have the time. I might consider this time my fear of the unknown- unknown of where I will be working, unknown of where I will be living, and unknown of how close or far away I will be from home. That being said, I am trying to change the small area of the world that I roam. Most importantly my concern is to include positive thinking into all that I do. I firmly believe that if you think positively, positive things will happen. If I start to think positively and can infuse my positivity on to other people around me, it will spread and the small chain of people might make a difference in the world. It is easy to get down sometimes; the weight of all of life's uncertainties can be a heavy load. But we must always keep in mind that it can be worse, and not to take anything for granted. World peace might be a big dream, but it's the small steps, the small change we want to see in the world that can get us there and make a big difference.
