You Can Change!
Things change...
Late night TV host, Bill Maher once asked the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netenyahu a good question...
He said “Why does the world hate Israel? It seems that no matter what you guys do someone doesn’t like it”.
Mr. Netenyahus answer was that people don’t like change. He went on to explain that Israel has always been picked on by stronger nations but that after the holocuast, something changed within the people of Israel. They decided that they would never let something like that happen to them ever again. Israel will no longer be bullied by other nations. He said that people have always seen Israel a certain way, so it’s hard for them to get their minds around the fact that things have changed, and things are never going back to the way they used to be!
If it’s not too late for an entire nation to make a change for the better, then it’s not too late for you as a person! You can change! Maybe you’ve always been the overweight one, the single one, the dumb one, the irresponsible one, the promiscuous one, the drunk one, or the no fun one... guess what... you can change! Just because you’ve been a certain way for a long time doesn’t mean you always have to be that person forever.
People change. Things change. So what people don’t like it? They will just have to get used to it!
