"Good and bad are separate conditions, with perfect and nightmarish at opposite ends of that spectrum. However, we learn more in transition than we do in stillness at any point. ...or at least we should. When we do, we often adapt, refitting our behaviors. Through adaptation and a commitment to self-amelioration, we can change, which is when we refit our minds and shift our paradigms. The greatest hindrance is fear; change is billed as a monumental, one-time moment when life is no longer the same, which sounds frightening. Change is actually a process of small steps that increasingly reinforce one thing over another, and is most akin to random acts of kindness; it's about the minutia, it's about sincerity, and it's about meaning. A small smile can mean the world; the fixing of a small habit can change a lifestyle. Kindness for the right reasons warms the heart; change for the right reasons feels lively and natural. When it's important to you to brighten the day for anyone you come into contact with, it will happen; when you're seriously out to better yourself and it means something to you, it will happen. It's important to always remember that when we change for the better, we take a step closer to becoming our best. The most important thing to remember though? It doesn't take a new year to change, only a new mindset."
