For the Better

Zeynep Semra YAZAR ‣
Transformation begins within us. A call for the better that is. It’ s a natural event that may be caused by internal or external forces and everyone develops it in a certain way that is unique to them. But in the core, those all are the same— discomfort brings change. A shift, the slightest change in our comfort zone might lead to such transformation in our internal sense like mindset, beliefs, perspective or visible reactions such as our behavior, style of speech and even posture.
The thing here is, some resist change. It makes them feel vulnerable, as it’ s a process that exposes their weaknesses thus creating a conflict with their inner world, because not every individual is courageous enough to face the fears within themselves. Therefore, the internet term“ Loving Yourself” could feel like a lie but at such downfalls, it’ s the first thing you’ d be hankering for— that’ s where your core power is. To have the means for a change, a better version of yourself, you’ ll need the corresponding power. That power will be your guiding light through the thorny path you take which eventually leads you to the very end, growth.
To sum up, transformation is a growth that may be tough sledding but it’ ll turn out for the better by and by. Just like a butterfly waiting to spread its wings and tore through its cocoon, each person will find their ways to survive the change and embrace it with open arms.
