blog 13

Positive change is a hard thing to construct. If humanity is comfortable than why should change occur. Over the topic of activisum and change Gail Sheehy stated it best when she said, “If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living.”
This quote encapsulates the true essence of why change is so important. Change is hard to do because it calls for humans to work, sweat, and suffer. Change calls for passion in a passionless human. Passion and change go hand in hand for without will or passion positive change would be an impossible feat. Positive change allows for one to grow and reach one’s true potential. When people get involved in helping women succed in the world they are creating change and awarness which gives hope, and allows for a brighter future full of hope and reform. Change is what change does. But, positive change is what allows life to be worth living, it allows for growth and hope to occur. To be involved in activism one must embrace change and live life for it which is truly a gift that we all should embrace and partake in. So as I sign off in my last blog, remember the words of Gandi, “be the change you wish to see in the world”.
