Thoughtful!

Do you think you can change the nature of a relationship after the relationship has already been formed?

I want to believe yes, but its hard to believe. Once you are set in a particular way, not only is it hard to change, but is change even wanted? Most people in life tend to settle. They are set in their ways and do not change. Nor do they want to change. Not that they do not believe change would be better, but because things that are unfamiliar and unknown are just too terrifying. Why change things when they're not even all that bad?

I met someone who had the courage to change because that person was just not happy with the way things were in their life - even though it was fine. That person strived to want more, to want the best thing, not to just settle for the sake of stability and comfort. When you think about this action that this person took, you have to appreciate the fact that it took a lot of courage. How many of us just stay in our old pattern because its just comfortable? How many of us tend to not take the other fork in the path because we don't know where it goes and is just too damn terrified to find out?

Back to the nature of a relationship - I think it boils down to whether or not you are courageous enough to change.

The questions are as follows: Are you brave enough to change? Are you brave enough to come out of your bubble of comfort? Are you brave enough to have an exceptional life instead of just an ok one?
